From July 26 to August 11, 2024, Paris will have the honor of hosting the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, or the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, abbreviated as Paris 2024. Paris has previously hosted the Summer Olympic Games twice in the past, in 1900 and 1924, making Paris the second city after London. It has hosted the Summer Olympic Games three times.
France is estimated to spend around €10 billion or 390 billion baht to host the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The Paris 2024 Organising Committee uses service providers to operate both its structure and its elements, with French companies accounting for 90 percent of all service providers. The committee also expects the Paris 2024 Olympic Games to create up to 181,000 jobs in related jobs.
The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is known for its magnificence. Whether it is the most creative, unusual and truly French. But it is also a crowded Olympics, with snakehead fish sold before the start and up until the opening ceremony.
Hours before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which starts on Friday 26 July 2024, there was a deliberate attack on the cable signal box at the main railway crossing station in the north-west and east of Paris. This caused delays to trains from Paris to other parts of France. Some calls were cancelled. Even Mr Keir Starmer, the British Prime Minister, had to change his plans from high-speed trains to flying to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games instead.
The deliberate attack affected 800,000 passengers, prompting French railways to ask people to avoid using train stations or postpone their travel. It was the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics, and people were in a state of shock and excitement.
It is estimated that there will be tourists visiting Paris in 2018 and up to 15 million tourists visited during the Olympics, but only 11 million actually visited, and several airlines said that passengers decreased because people wanted to avoid going to Paris during the Olympics. In addition, airlines reported hotel booking rates during the Olympics compared to the same period last year. Luxury hotels appear to have seen a 20-50 percent drop in overall hotel bookings (both luxury and non-luxury) by 50 percent.
There was an interview with a souvenir shop owner, and it turned out that customers had been down since June 2024. By July, business was worse than before. Customers were avoiding Paris because they didn't want to deal with the hassle of traffic and tight security.
More than 70,000 people participated in the Olympics, including about 10,500 athletes, 20,000 media personnel from around the world, 45,000 volunteers, and 75,000 security personnel.
Before hosting the 2024 Olympics, Paris had a poor reputation. Whether it was a robbery, a burglary or a theft, hotel room break-ins happened every day. Without being able to catch the criminal, tourists used it to preach and give a bad reputation all over the world. But it seems that the French authorities do not care about the safety of their capital.

On July 22, 2024, two members of the Channel 9 News crew from Australia were returning home to Le Bourget. They were attacked by a group of thieves who stole their bag. The incident sent a warning to tourists. Olympic athletes or even media attending the 2024 Paris Olympics should be on their guard, which has led to increased security measures. Adding up to 75,000 people to oversee the matter is still not enough to prevent crimes in Paris.
Between now and the closing ceremony of the competition, it is not yet known whether there will be more serious incidents in Paris. This may be another reason for attracting tourists. Many will avoid going to Paris during the 2024 Olympic Games. Crimes in Paris have led to people's interest in crime in Europe as a whole, with many people criticizing Europe as a more dangerous continent than other continents.
