After a of series attacks on 13th November, the French President Francois Hollande has declared a rare state of emergency for only the second time since World War II. Prior to this, in November 2005 when the death of two teenagers of immigrant descent sparked countrywide riots, and the state of emergency lasted for about three months.
Essentially, under the state of emergency, the cities and neighborhoods will implement a curfew, and borders surrounding the nation will have a high security influx.
Moreover, putting the country into the state of emergency will severely harm the economy of the country, especially when a country depends heavily on tourism.
However, after the terrorist attack in Paris, most countries have issued travel alert for France, and France herself has declared the state of emergency. Flights to and from Paris have been affected and people from all over can hardly enter as well as exit France, and people will be less willing to visit France for vacation purposes due to this increased security at borders. Similar to how the heavy increase in border security impacted tourism to New York City negatively for several years. It will also harm the businesses in France, as the trading in France will also be severely disturbed due to the EU’s likely increase of expenditure on national security and decrease in trade across nations.
The terrorist attack in France is so horrifying that as a result people from all over the world are frightened. In a month or so, it will be Christmas time, which is a peak season for travelling and vacation for major cities such as Paris. However, due to the attacks on the city, even if state of emergency in France is abolished before Christmas (which is highly likely) people will be very unwillingly to take the risk and visit France. Therefore, the income from tourism during the Christmas vacation this year for France can be expected to suffer a massive loss. The government of France has to spend a large amount on national security, as well as re-introducing the tourism of France.
