Odile Grosmesnil, Yohann Rivillon, service Ésane, Insee

In France, 4,800 legal units conduct activities as travel agencies or tour operators. They make €12 billion in turnover in 2016. Those with 10 to 249 employees, often from company groups, earned half of this. Designing trips, for the end customer or for travel agencies, generates more than two-thirds of turnover in the sector. This one has increased strongly since 2000, despite a decline between 2008 and 2011.
