Tourism numbers drop in Saint Tropez
The picturesque seaside resort of Saint Tropez became a drawcard for tourists after Brigitte Bardot's iconic performance in the film 'And God Created Woman' in 1956. More than half a century later, it still retains its popularity with visitors, although the tourism figures are wavering.
A meeting organised by Saint Tropez Mayor Jean-Pierre Tuveri and the head of Saint Tropez Tourism Claude Maniscalo took place in the Hôtel de Paris on Tuesday 28th October. It was attended by professionals who work in the tourism industry, shopkeepers, and councillors from 12 towns in the area.
“Tourists make 220,000 overnight stays in Saint Tropez per year and generate 11 million euros," Maniscalco said. "I don’t like the term season, because, as I see it, it is the whole year that counts.” Figures did show, however, that visitor numbers in 2014 were lower than in previous years, with a 4% decrease since 2013.
It was also universally established that this dip in tourism numbers had nothing to do with the bad weather in July nor the influx of travellers to Brazil for the world cup in Rio. The meeting concluded with the fact that it was more of a structural problem that needed to be addressed, and an effort will be made in terms of improving quality and offers.
Saint Tropez is notorious for its hours-long traffic jams in the busy season. ( + extremely unfriendly local people ) RED.

The Arabs
The "Orange Harem" and his questionable business partners
We have been following the infamous "Orange Harem" and his stay on the French Riviera. As mentioned before he has rented quite a few cars from AAA Luxury and Sport Car Rental....
BUT I am not sure he knows WHO he has been doing business with..... because I am quite sure he will be surprised when I reveal who is behind....
In his position he should have asked somebody with our skills, connections and knowledge, to do a background check before making any business deals.
