The listed graphs illustrate the number of visitors coming from France and North America for either vacation or business over one year.
Overall, each visit purpose has a different pattern. On the one hand, holiday trips reach their peak in July of the summer. On the other hand, the business pattern is divided into two high-demand seasons, in May and October. Notably, North America always made up the majority of visitors in every single month.
Regarding the holiday visits, while North America had a slightly smaller figure compared to France initially, at 0.8 million and 0.9 million respectively, the data progressively increased and peaked at 3 million turns by mid-year. Afterward, the visits returned to 0.7 million. Remarkably, the North American inverted U-shaped trend exhibited a significant range of about 2.2 million throughout the calendar year. Conversely, France underwent a steadier trend over a one-year period, reaching its peak in July, at 1.5 million, before dropping to around 1 million towards the year’s end.
On the other hand, the business trajectories of France and North America closely resembled each other, with a gap of roughly 0.1 million. Regarding the business visits, North America progressively climbed from 0.15 million to 0.3 million by May and subsequently recorded a dip to 0.2 million in August, eventually reaching a peak of 0.35 million in October. While France mirrored this bimodal trend on a much smaller scale, its double peaks were essentially identical, at 0.2 million, and the curve touched its troughs periodically in January, August and December at 0.05, 0.10 and 0.10 million respectively.
