The Cannes Film Festival, which begins Tuesday May 14, will host “at least 200,000 visitors”, said the city’s mayor David Lisnard on France Bleu Azur. He explains that even if it is “difficult to assess”the population of the city “triple” during the fortnight.
The calculation is done using a “extrapolation of waste tonnage and water consumption”. “Last year it was a record, this year it looks good, according to hoteliers”continues David Lisnard.
To welcome “the largest cultural festival in the world”It is “of course pride, but also a lot of concentration”, because “it’s logistics, but it’s also a security concern,” explains the mayor. It provides approximately “200 million euros in benefits, for the entire Côte d’Azur, as far as Nice and Toulon”.
