Marseille - Market Snapshot, 2016
Marseille, the political, cultural and economic centre of the Bouches-du-Rhône department and of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, is France's second largest city.
The city's tourism industry has experienced a turning point in 2013 when Marseille held the title of European Capital of Culture. In preparation of this major event, the city has initiated numerous rejuvenation and redevelopment projects in order to replace its often battered reputation in the media with the image of an innovative and enjoyable city. Since then, the city has tried to capitalise on this event to further develop its popularity as a tourist destination.
This edition of our hotel market snapshot will thus take a closer look into Marseille's tourism and hotel industry and will present the city's forthcoming hotel openings.
