Hotels & Holiday Accommodation in France industry analysis

The Hotels and Holiday Accommodation industry is buoyed by France’s position as the world’s most visited country. A rich historical heritage, famed attractions and a variety of holiday hotspots, from Paris to the French Riviera and the French Alps, draw travellers from all across the globe. Although the tourism sector is recovering, the COVID-19 pandemic and recent inflationary pressures have dampened demand. Accommodation providers have also faced significant price pressures amid intense competition and the popularity of OTAs and home-sharing platforms, which, alongside higher operating costs thanks to inflationary pressures, have weighed on profit. Revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 13.2% over the five years through 2025 to €32.4 billion,  including an estimated 1.3% rise in 2025.

Trends and Insights

  • The COVID-19 pandemic decimates bookings. Strict restrictions on international travel and the closure of holiday accommodation establishments for long periods had a severe negative impact on revenue and profit.
  • Increasingly value-conscious consumers support economy hotels. Low consumer confidence and tightening purse strings are boosting demand for budget hotels and other low-cost short-term holiday accommodation like hostels and vacation homes.
  • Branded chains expand at the expense of independent businesses. Larger hotel companies, like Accor, Marriot and Hilton, boast significant brand recognition, which helps to attract guests and drive up their market share.
