Flight bookings for France drop after Nice attack
Demand for air travel to France, and Nice in particular, has dropped again after an attacker killed 84 people in the city on the French Riviera July 14, according to ForwardKeys. France's tourism industry had yet to fully recover from assaults in Paris in January and November last year, which were also claimed by Islamic State. Daily net international bookings to Nice for future arrivals, combining cancellations of previous bookings and a decline in new bookings, dropped by 57% in the period July 15-23, compared with the previous year. ForwardKeys said flight bookings for travel in August and September were already down before the July attack but have since taken another knock. Bookings for travel to Nice for August and September were down 14% compared with last year before July 14, but are now down 19%. <br/>
