The Eiffel Tower , the most famous and prominent tourist attraction in France, closed its doors to visitors today, Monday, due to a strike by its employees, according to what the unions calling for the strike announced.
The general unions that called for the strike held a meeting today and issued a decree to begin a strike by employees of the company operating the Eiffel Tower, one of the most attractive landmarks for visitors in the world, as of Monday.
The management of the company that manages the tourist edifice, SETE, previously announced on its official website that due to the notice of strike by some Eiffel Tower employees, there will be disturbances when this large edifice opens its doors to visitors today, February 19, 2024, calling on visitors to “postpone” their visit.
Tourists are the ones who will be most affected by this strike. One of them said: “When we come for only two or three days, we allocate one day to visit the Eiffel Tower, so if it is closed, we will face a problem,” while others believe that an individual can see this great edifice “without having to go up.”
The management of the company operating the Eiffel Tower announced that it is possible for those who purchased a ticket to visit today, Monday, February 19, to get their money back.
In 2023, the Eiffel Tower received 6.318 million visitors, according to the operating company’s figures, an increase of 8% compared to 2022, which also witnessed about 5.9 million visitors.
