Aussie travel France

FRANCE specialist French Travel Connection has confirmed the Australian market continues to display resilience following the recent riots over increased fuel taxes (TD 26 Nov).

Sales Director of parent company Entire Travel Group’s Greg McCallum told Travel Daily “The Australian market has traditionally been resilient in the face of isolated issues such as these, and once again, despite the unrest, it has very much been business as usual.

“We will continue to monitor events in Paris – where protests have only affected very specific and identified areas of the city - but to date none of our products and/or suppliers have experienced any major disruptions,” he continued.

McCallum also told Travel Daily that the French Government’s suspension of the fuel taxes was also expected to calm the unrest.
