ABSTRACT
The key economic sectors are business and leisure tourism, satellite services, and water sports. Indeed, the city of Cannes is an average-sized city that has the particularity of welcoming the whole world during international congresses. There are strong social and economic disparities: 20 percent of the population lives below the poverty line while the French national average is 14 percent. Some districts of the city are classified at the national level as priority areas. There are ambitious plans to open an international cinema and film festival museum in 2028, in partnership with the Cinematheque francaise and the Cannes Film Festival. Cannes will also support the development of a project to create a show and a film with the international school of actors in Dakar and the national school of actors in Cannes. In 2023, Cannes had plans to host “Bollywood Express” by the Mumbai artists of the Taj Express.
