French Secretary of State for Tourism identifies Belgians as most spending tourists
On Monday June 15, France, the number 1 holiday destination of the world, opened its borders again for foreign tourists. French Secretary of State for Tourism, Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, chose the reopening of the border with the ‘tiny’ Belgium to inaugurate personally. His presence was no coincidence, he even had an important reason to attend. Of all European tourists, Belgians spend the most on their holidays.
