France Courting Olympic Visitors
If you happen to be visiting London next year for the Olympics, then why not hop on SeaFrance Ferries Dover Calais, and head over to France for a short stint.
It turns out that a number of Northern French regions have decided to compete with Britain to attract tourists who are seeking accommodation when visiting the UK for next year’s Olympics, since the majority of accommodation in London is already fully booked for the sports extravaganza.
As a result various regions in France are looking to take advantage with the Core d’Opale already looking to cash in on its close proximity to the UK.
The Core d’Opale has over 70,000 beds available across all its properties with some priced as cheap as €62, which is almost half the €110 a night that is being charged in London.
Olympic visitors who decide to stay in the region are close to Calais, meaning after a SeaFrance Ferry journey, they are not very far away from London. The region has also arranged for a network of greeters who will guide visitors upon their arrival at seaports, train stations and airports.
If you decide this could be an option for you, then there are number of tourist attractions in the The Core d’Opale including the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Saint Omer, which is over 800 years old. Not to be missed either is the Battle of Dunkerque Museum; and more than 100 miles of beaches.
The region also features 17 shopping centers, five casinos, six golf courses, and over 30 sporting centres that include facilities for a number of sports such as basketball, football, horse riding and gymnastics.
Cote d’Opale Developpement was founded in 2005 in conjunction with four different economic development agencies, covering the areas of Calais, Boulogne sur Mer, Saint Omer , Dunkerque.
The main aim of the organization is to publicise the investment opportunities available in the region. The organization offers free assistance to companies and investors looking to establish their operations or expand in the region.
