The Tourism Directorate of the Ministry of Economy, Industry and the Employment has published a report on urban tourism in 2007. I'm interested in the situation in Normandy.
Between 2005 and 2007, particularly in the cities of Caen, Le Havre and Rouen that the average size of hotels has increased the most among major cities in France. Harbour holds the record with 7.2 bedrooms and more by average hotel. Le Havre and Rouen are rather specialized in economy hotels with 20 to 35% of their capacity in this sector and 15 to 30% in luxury. Caen has a capacity of economic and luxury rather low (less than 30% in luxury and less than 15% in total economic capacity) and is positioned on the park rather standard 2 stars (50%) and unclassified (15% ).

Le Havre is one of the cities that include more European customers, in proportion, in its hotels. Le Havre has been a decrease in its "foreign visitors" in hotels during the period 2005 to 2007 according to the report. This seems quite surprising since Le Havre has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage in 2005. One explanation for this would be welcome. Is it because of changes in the ferry line, which took place in 2005?
Rising from luxury hotels (three and four star hotels) was "particularly strong" in Le Havre from 1999 to 2007. This is, indeed, the creation of larger institutions: Novotel, Casino, etc.. The "luxury" decline, however, Rouen during the same period. More disturbing, the hotel capacity Rouen fell between 1999 and 2007. The figures indicate that the peak of hotel occupancy in Rouen, like other cities like Lyon, Lille, Toulouse, did not occur during the summer period from July to August.
Any survey can be found on the following link. We carefully read the first pages which indicate the conditions under which the investigation was conducted. Click here .
