French expertise travels the world: a flourishing sector
Tourism is a major component of the global economy. It is a particularly strong driving industry. Yet since 1993, growth in tourism revenues has been below world GDP growth. And, since 1997, tourism services as a share of all services have dropped from 33% to 26.5%. Nevertheless, tourism remains particularly buoyant and has a considerable impact wherever it is developed. The developing countries see it as an important driving force for growth and economic development.

Since 1984 the Fonds Sud Cinéma programme has promoted film diversity in the world. The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and the Ministry of Culture (Centre National de la Cinématographie - the national centre for cinema) both participate jointly to its budget. This selective aid has helped the production of more than 400 feature-films from Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Near East and Middle East and some Eastern countries since 1997.
