French term or phrase: chiffres d'entrées
The following sentence comes from a report on the number of tourists who visited an open air museum. Am I correct in thinking that "chiffres d'entrées" could mean "entrance figures"?

The French reads as follows:

"Les chiffres d'entrées communiqués par la Direction des fouilles sont les suivants:

1979………………………………… 1 371 952
1980………………………………… 1 393 463

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Explanation:
I would tend to go along with you, an open air museum not being an attraction park, and so accounting for entries in a different way
Hope this will help

Thanks for your reply. Whilst i liked the other suggestion of "number of visitors", this wouldn't fit so well into the sentence as a whole.

number of visitors


Explanation:
Here in Canada, we use the word
'visitors" to calculate the attendance for a concert or a baseball in a ballpark, not so much the receipts as the number of visitors attending


Therefore, I agree with "SMITA" the correct translation for "Chiffres D'entrées" is

Number of Visitors.

Hope this helps.
