In an economic context where purchasing power has become a real concern for many French people, an alarming observation is emerging: more and more people are forced to give up on their holidays. In fact, according to a survey carried out by Anadolu, 40% of French people will not be going on vacation this summer. This situation is largely explained by the exorbitant increase in fuel prices, which continues to reduce their leisure budget.
The rise in fuel prices is one of the main factors that negatively impact the purchasing power of French households. This week there has been a significant increase, making refueling more and more expensive. This situation is pushing many households to review their vacation plans, sometimes even giving up on leaving.
Faced with this incessant inflation, the French are forced to adapt and reduce their spending on leisure. Instead of planning expensive holidays abroad, more and more people are opting for more economical solutions, such as camping trips or holidays with relatives. This new trend reflects the need to revise its ambitions downwards in order to preserve its purchasing power.
The deprivation of holidays has considerable consequences on French society and the economy. In addition, this situation has a direct impact on the tourism and hotel sector, which is seeing its attendance decrease and its income drop. This situation is reinforced by a very restrictive visa policy for certain countries, particularly in the Maghreb, a major supplier of tourists to France.
Faced with this worrying reality, the government is considering solutions to improve the purchasing power of the French and allow them to enjoy holidays. Some NUPES MPs have already raised this issue in a forum, highlighting the need to put in place concrete measures to reduce constrained spending and social inequalities.
The purchasing power of the French is now seriously compromised, forcing them to make difficult choices and to give up certain projects, including holidays. The increase in fuel prices is one of the main causes of this situation, thus reducing the leisure budget of households.
