Eiffel TowerWorld Wonder: Eiffel Tower

Tech Required: Radio

Production Cost: 1060

What it Does: +5 Happiness per turn, +12 Tourism. Additionally, it will provide +1 Culture and +1 Great Merchant point in that City.

Strategies
This doesn't need to go anywhere in particular unless you've got your Religion elected the World Religion. That will boost Tourism output by 50% in that City, so the Eiffel Tower would give +18 instead, which is quite significant.

Only build this if you are going for a Cultural Victory as the scant Tourism will not be enough to really get you Influential over other Civs without a lot of Great Works. The BNW 2013 Fall patch will give extra uses for Tourism, but it's still not going to be very helpful unless you are going straight Tourism.

Given the Eiffel Tower Wonder comes with the same tech as Broadway, you may have to choose between them. Broadway will give more Tourism in the end with its slots filled and Theming Bonus completed, but that takes more time while the Eiffel will put that Tourism out instantly.
