Luxury, boutique, and high-end hotels saw significant occupancy increases during the Olympics, according to data released Tuesday by Paris je t’aime, the city’s tourism office.

About 85.5% of high-end hotels in Greater Paris were occupied between July 23 and August 6, up 16.5 percentage points over 2023. Inner Paris saw an 84% occupancy rate, a 10.1-point increase from last year.

Approximately 11.2 million visitors came to Paris for the Olympics between July 23 and August 11, a 4% increase from 2023. Around 85% of these visitors were French. Of the 3.1 million who stayed overnight, 1.7 million were international tourists, with the U.S. providing 230,000 visitors and Germany 130,000.

Many tourists avoided Paris in July and August due to congestion and higher costs associated with the Olympics.

Despite higher travel numbers during the Olympics, overall summer tourism remained flat compared to last year. Hotel occupancy over the entire summer (July to September) is expected to be similar to 2023 levels, with 9.5 million overnight visitors.

Corinne Menegaux, director general of Paris je t’aime, stated that 2024 won’t be Paris’s best tourism year due to the Olympics, as she told Skift in May.

Disneyland Paris experienced a drop in attendance during July and August. Hugh F. Johnston, CFO of Disney, noted that the park faced challenges due to the Olympics during a quarterly earnings call.

Some tourism businesses reported significant revenue drops for July and August. Angelo Ruggeri, manager of Private Tours Paris, mentioned that tour bookings were about 25% of normal levels, leading to substantial financial losses.
