Eiffel Tower Reopens Post-Strike with 20% Hike in Ticket Prices
February 24, 2024
The Eiffel Tower in Paris has reopened after a six-day strike following an agreement between SETE and trade unions.
The settlement includes a significant 20% increase in ticket prices, aiming for financial stability by 2025.
SETE committed to substantial investments, including 380 million euros for maintenance and works by 2031, addressing union demands.
The recent strike led to apologies and full refunds for 100,000 visitors, underscoring the impact of the closure.
Despite a 120 million euro shortfall from the pandemic, the Eiffel Tower has bounced back with 6.3 million visitors in 2023.
