The Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games are set to take place in 2024, and the French government is taking measures to ensure that visitors to the city are not taken advantage of. To that end, the French Ministry of Economy and Finance has announced that it will conduct 10,000 inspections at restaurants and hotels in the Paris area in the months leading up to the games. The goal of these inspections is to prevent price gouging and other forms of exploitation of visitors.
The inspections will be conducted by the Ministry’s Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs, and Fraud Control (DGCCRF). The DGCCRF will be looking for any signs of price gouging or other forms of exploitation of visitors. This includes any attempts to charge higher prices for goods or services than what is normally charged in the area. The DGCCRF will also be looking for any attempts to limit the availability of goods or services in order to drive up prices.
The inspections are part of a larger effort by the French government to ensure that visitors to the city are not taken advantage of. The government has also announced a number of other measures, including increased enforcement of existing laws against price gouging and other forms of exploitation, as well as increased public awareness campaigns about the issue.
The French government is hoping that these measures will help ensure that visitors to the city have a pleasant experience and are not taken advantage of. The government is also hoping that these measures will help ensure that businesses in the area are not engaging in exploitative practices. By conducting these inspections, the government is sending a clear message that it will not tolerate any attempts to take advantage of visitors to the city.
