WIESBADEN – The tourism industry in Germany recovered partly from the Covid-19 crisis compared with 2021. Based on provisional results, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reports that accommodation establishments in Germany recorded 450.8 million overnight stays of visitors last year. This was an increase in overnight stays of 45.3% compared with 2021, but still a decline of 9.1% compared with 2019, the year before the crisis.
Marked increase in December 2022 compared with December 2021
In December 2022, accommodation establishments in Germany recorded 27.5 million overnight stays of visitors from Germany and abroad. This was an increase of 57.0% on December 2021. The substantial increase can be explained by some Covid-19 restrictions which were in force in December 2021. Compared with December of the pre-crisis year 2019, the number of overnight stays was 11.2% lower.
The figures refer to accommodation establishments with 10 or more bed places and in tourist campsites having 10 or more pitches.
