Unsurprisingly, the tourism figures for 2020 are in total collapse: hotel attendance has fallen by 55%, attendance at monuments by 74%… “2020 must have been an exceptional year, regrets Olivier Occelli, director general of the tourist office. of Bordeaux Métropole.

There was a well-filled portfolio of business events… ”As everywhere, the Covid-19 crisis shattered these expectations.

After a year of forced shutdown, Congrès Expositions de Bordeaux, which manages five sites, shows an 80% drop in activity.

In the Metropolis, the high-end hotel offer is quite marked and represents 17% of the total offer.

Popular with foreign customers, prevented from traveling because of health constraints, this category of hotel industry is particularly hard hit.

As a reminder, international traffic at Bordeaux airport fell by 76%.

A peculiarity of the metropolis that weighs heavily and helps explain an occupancy rate of 31% over the year.
