Nice Syndrome

|
Nice syndrome is a psychological phenomenon in which cities express love and have positive feelings toward their visiting non-residents to the point of allowing their culture to be primarily defined by the visitors' whims. Nice syndrome requires a strong, ongoing tourism presence and long term vacationers who invest in the development of the area. History Nice syndrome is named after the city of Nice, France, in which many celebrities and aristocrats would spend their winters in the 19th and 20th century. Notable foreign residents include Coco Chanel, Matisse, and Robert Smith. Many of the sites they built or lived in are now considered tourist landmarks. The residence of celebrities and aristocrats raises the value of the real estate. Much of the early tourism to the French Riviera was English and these influences include the building of important landmarks such as Promenade des Anglais and Castle Hill. Iconic flowers such as the mimosa have also been brought in as invasive species by English aristocrats and are now considered representative of the region.
