    Tourism numbers in France and Germany have dwindled due to terrorism

    https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ST.INT.ARVL?end=2016&locations=FR-DE-US&start=2009&view=chart [worldbank.org]

    So for 2016:
    Germany 2016 record high, 1.5% up on 2015
    France was at 2012 levels, with a 1% fall in 2016 from 2015
    The US had a 2.5% fall in 2016 from 2015

    This is despite reports like 'One million fewer visitors went to the French capital in the first six months of 2016' from rags like this [express.co.uk]
