Would you want to go to a city increasingly characterized by lawlessness, rioting and Jew-hatred?
“Delta says the Olympics will cost it $100 million as travelers skip Paris,” by Leslie Josephs, CNBC, July 11, 2024:
For more than 10,000 Olympic athletes, making it to Paris this summer is a dream come true. Thousands of potential tourists feel otherwise.
Delta Air Lines says travelers are avoiding the city this summer and booking to destinations elsewhere, amounting to a $100 million hit for the airline during an otherwise bustling summer for European travel, CEO Ed Bastian said….

Paul Burns says
Mostly negative stories coming out of Paris these days, since the Bataclan attack and before. Depending on who they are they are either scared of jihadis, the “Far Right” or the Far Left.
SC says
This sounds like total BS to me. Paris is going to be packed solid with olympians, their management, officials and spectators. Someone had to fly them there. This sounds more like Delta missed the boat by not offering discounted flights. They need to stop blaming everyone else and be more responsive to their customers rather than being the best at ripping off customers.

The Paris Olympics could well be a target for jihadi’s, just as the Munich Olympics was in 1972.
Eight Palestinian jihadi’s from the black September group (today’ hamas equivalent) invaded the Olympic village and murdered two Israeli athletes.

I was living and working in the Olympic Village during the 1972 Munich games, I was in the building next door to the guy in the mask on the Balcony.
I fear much worse may happened in Paris 2024.
John Smith says
Wow, what an experience that must have been. One you could of done without, but still one helluva experience.
I hope the games go well but with everything that’s going on in Israel right now it would be foolish to dismiss the possibility that it wont become a target for jihadi’s.

According to the feature article:
“Would you want to go to a city increasingly characterized by lawlessness, rioting and Jew-hatred?”
No.
Even if I were provided free first-class airfare, a luxury hotel, and all other expenses paid.
No way.

Awesome! Karma for those ?? lapel pins, acting against NRA members and interfering in politics in 2021

Also in addition some countries may not participate too?.

I am in mourning for beautiful, civilised Paris. I remember it well.

As the “B” said: the first Olympics in a Muslim country.
OLD GUY says
Sounds like poor planning on Deltas part. Any country that is over run with Muslims would be a good country to avoid for vacations.

3 days ago — Paris — The famous medieval cathedral in the city of Rouen in western France was evacuated Thursday when a fire broke out in the spire.
Nothing more in the news about this, no sane person would travel to any European nation as long as Islam is ruining each and every nation, boycott and keep the athletes at home or find another place to hold the Olympics.
