PARIS (Reuters) - Tourism in Paris is starting to recover, French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday, after hotel bookings slumped following the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people.
Daily occupancy at hotels in Paris fell 24 percentage points on average in the week after the attacks claimed by Islamic State militants, according to figures given by the Office du Tourisme et des Congres de Paris on Wednesday. But the decline had eased to 16 points on Nov. 22 and Nov. 23, it said.
