The appointment takes place in a little over a month! The kick-off of the Rugby World Cup organized in France begins on September 8th. And the event is awaited as much by oval ball fans as tourism players. According to a Kayak study that Europe 1 was able to consult exclusively, hoteliers and airlines are expecting a particularly prosperous period.
Flights to France increased by 29%
The craze is reflected in the bookings which explode, which leads to a sharp rise in prices with a 29% increase for a seat on a flight in France over the period and a 14% increase for a night at the hotel. And this trend is all the stronger in the host cities of the event such as Lille. “The average price of flights and hotels in the region has more than doubled: 110% compared to 2022. A city like Marseille has seen the price of its flights and hotels increase by 49% and 138% respectively,” said Eva Fouquet, vice-president of Kayak.
The competition will not only attract French people since a majority of the public will come from other European countries but also from Oceania. The two continents will play, unless surprised, the leading roles of this World Cup and this is reflected in the searches of the online comparator. “If we consider the qualified teams, it is the United Kingdom which will record the greatest number of searches, followed by Australia”, details the vice-president of Kayak at the microphone of Europe 1. On this ground, New Zealand has already won a first match: its supporters plan to stay an average of 23 days in France, no nation does better. It is for example 12 days longer than the supporters of South Africa, reigning world champion.
