On the announcements of Paris as Best Destination for the 2018 Travelers Choices Award and the Top 10 France destinations Christian Mantei, CEO of Atout France, the France Tourism Development Agency said: “This award is so important to us as it is a recognition by travelers of joint efforts undertaken these recent years. The French Government, the region, the city and the entire travel industry (hotels, transportation, museums, gastronomy…) worked hard to show Paris and France in a new light. Receiving this award today and this week is all the more meaningful because it is International Francophonie Day and because tomorrow is “Good France,” the largest worldwide dinner held to celebrate French gastronomy.”
