Travel and tourism based gift cards are gaining attractiveness in France over the past few years. Air France for instance offers Paperplane, a gift card service, which allows customers to buy a trip for loved ones. Though the demand for gift cards in this sector was highly impacted due to the pandemic, it is expected to recover in 2021.

The overall travel and tourism industry in France was severely affected due to COVID-19 crisis. To rescue the industry, the French government announced a "Marshall Plan" on May 14 2020 to provide US$20.3B (EUR18B) to support the industry. The rebound in travel and tourism industry in H2 2021 is expected to support growth in the gift card market.
