Nice Côte d’Azur, outlook for the second half of 2024
The second quarter reinforced these results, thanks to the school vacations and mild spring sunshine, which attracted foreign customers ahead of the peak summer season. French visitors also contributed to this growth, particularly during the May long weekends.
The outlook for summer and autumn is just as promising. A wide-ranging calendar of events and sports: the arrival of the Tour de France, the Étape du Tour, the women’s IronMan World Championships and the Nice Jazz Fest, promises to attract a large audience.
In July, there was a peak in bookings for the weekend of July 20, due to the arrival of the Tour de France. For August, booking rates remain stable and above those of August 2023. In September, booking rates are significantly higher (+10 points) than in September 2023, particularly during the week of the Ironman Women’s World Championships, from September 16 to 22, 2024.
