“Paris hotels are practically full”rejoices Frank Delvau, president of Umih Paris-Île-de-France on franceinfo Saturday December 30, on the eve of New Year’s Eve. “We will have more than 90% occupancy rate in the hotel industry in Paris”which is “important after not great results at Christmas”he emphasizes.
There will also be “lots of people in restaurants”predicts Frank Delvau for “all types of formulas, from fairly low to [restaurants] stars”. The fact remains that the economic situation in catering is still critical, according to him, with a “business failure rate which has returned to the level of 2019”.
Two subjects “lead” the cash flow of restaurateurs, according to the president of Umih Paris-Île-de-France. On the one hand, “energy bills multiplied by three, even seven” and on the other, difficulties in repaying loans guaranteed by the State, which Frank Delvau is requesting to be postponed.
