The fall of the Euro against the US Dollar has proved to be a boon for American tourists, flocking in great numbers to Europe this year. Prices are about a fourth less than last year with the Euro heading to almost parity level with the Dollar. Marketing research conducted by Gallup shows that about four-fifths of Americans had a favourable opinion towards France, the country that is attracting maximum tourists from the USA.  Italy and the Netherlands are other popular destinations. This has led to jamming of tourism lines as Americans are queuing up in large numbers to reach the old world. Thus prior bookings have become necessary now.
