Attendance at Disneyland Paris plummeted by 14 per cent last year amid fears of terrorism, a new report has revealed.

Visitor numbers dropped from 9.8million in 2015 to 8.4million in 2016, in the wake of fatal suicide bombings and shootings in the French capital.

The Louvre in the city centre also suffered a 15 per cent fall in ticket sales, from 8.7million to 7.4million.

The Global Attractions and Attendance Report, now in its 11th year, notes that along with terrorism, strikes and bad weather also played a part in deterring tourists.

Last June, extreme rainfall saw the river Seine swell to its highest level in decades.

As a result, tourist cruises were cancelled and some of the city’s Metro stations were closed.

Visitors to the Arc de Triomphe fell more than a third in the first half of 2016 from the same period a year earlier, the Paris tourist board said.

The Louvre in the city centre also suffered a 15 per cent fall in ticket sales, from 8.7million to 7.4million

The Grand Palais museum reported a 43.9 per cent slump and the Palace of Versailles just short of 20 per cent.

Last November Euro Disney, which owns Disneyland Paris, posted record annual losses in the wake of the jihadist attacks on Paris, which weighed heavily on tourist bookings.

During its financial year, which ended in September 2016, group turnover fell 6.91 per cent to 1.27billion euros following a 10 per cent drop in visitor numbers, a statement said.

Research revealed that the Paris tourism market saw a 65 per cent decline from 2015 to 2016. The market was affected by the attacks in the capital and subsequently by the attacks in Brussels and Nice

'Disneyland Paris had an exceptionally challenging year. We have been impacted by various external factors that have significantly affected the tourism business in the Paris region,' Euro Disney president Catherine Powell said at the time.

'In this adverse environment, revenue decreased seven per cent. This, together with the increase in costs driven by our future growth strategy of continually improving the guest experience plus the costs of additional security measures, resulted in a significant decrease in our operating performance for the fiscal year.'

Research by price comparison site icelolly.com revealed that the Paris tourism market saw a 65 per cent decline from 2015 to 2016.

The market was affected by the attacks in the capital and subsequently by the attacks in Brussels and Nice.

But it wasn't all doom and gloom for Paris - the Centre Pompidou and Cité des Sciences - the biggest science museum in Europe - managed to grow their attendance despite these events.
