Cannes once again voted Europe's Best Destination 2024 for Events

Since 2014, Cannes Town Hall has invested 655 million euros in beautifying the city and making it more attractive. David Lisnard has made this one of the priorities of his mandate. Looking ahead to 2023, the Town Hall has committed 69 million euros in investments to revitalize the city and improve the quality of life. This amount has been devoted to the redevelopment of Bocca-centre, the requalification of the Allées de la Liberté, the modernization of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, the renovation of the Centre d’Art Contemporain la Malmaison, the creation of a multifunctional village hall in La Bocca, the embellishment of the Croisette, the Nouvelle-Frayère urban renewal program, the restructuring of the Forville market, the plan to combat heat in schools and nurseries, the acquisition and renovation of social housing, etc.

In addition to the work carried out by the municipality, private hotel investments are also substantial and even exceptional for a city of 75,000 inhabitants. In fact, over a billion euros have been invested by private establishments such as the Carlton Cannes, the Martinez, the Mondrian and the Canopy By Hilton in 2023, to name but a few. This testifies to the confidence placed in our destination. Restaurateurs, beach operators and activity providers also continue to invest every year to offer the best possible experience to visitors and locals alike.

Thanks to these substantial investments and the constant drive and commitment of Cannes’ socio-professionals, the destination is thriving, attractive and internationally competitive.
