Bruges attracts nearly a quarter fewer tourists

Tourists and day-trippers leave Bruges ignore since the attacks of March in Brussels.

More than 400 000 tourists boarded a boat in the first six months, a decrease of over 22 percent. In July, the decline was incidentally below 10 percent.

The figures are a good barometer to know how it is with the Club's economy, says Decleer.,, Since most tourists take a boat, we know that even in the hotels, catering and retail sales fell by a fall on passengers. A sales decline of one fifth is bad, because this percentage is required to make a profit. ''
