Tourism between the UAE and France has witnessed significant growth in recent years, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, the number of French tourists visiting the UAE rose to 311,570, an increase of 59 percent, compared with 2020.
According to the figures from the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre, the number of French tourists who visited the UAE from 2015 to 2021 totalled 2.461 million.
The UAE is a leading tourist destination for French tourists, due to its strategic location linking East to West, options for all budgets, and its hosting of events and activities suitable for all ages.
France, as a result, is among the top ten countries from which the UAE gets most of its tourists.
