Paris is a city visited by many tourists annually, and therefore the accommodation rates are very high.
This year, from 21st July to 10th August, a pay-what-you-want initiative was launched in Paris hotels to attract tourists but also to learn about guest requirements from their impression of the accommodation.
During the three-week campaign, tourists could spend a night in one of five hotels offered and decide how much they wished to pay for the accommodation.
The hotels involved in the campaign ranged from the three-star Villa Bohéme to the luxurious, four-star Hotel Tour d’Auvergne. The regular prices in these hotels vary from 130 to 290 euros.
