Accommodation businesses have registered more overnight stays than ever before this month
German domestic tourism is booming. Hotels and other accommodation businesses with at least ten beds registered overnights in May as many as never before in this month.
48.9 million overnights represent an increase of 4.1 percent compared to the previous record-breaking May in the year 2023, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office based on preliminary data. The number from the pre-Corona year 2019 was even surpassed by nearly 10 percent. Only 15 percent of the overnights in May were booked by foreign guests.
I was pleased to see that my May vacation in Germany resulted in high demand for accommodations, contributing to the record-breaking number of overnights. Despite the majority of guests being domestic, I'm looking forward to exploring more accommodations during my future travels in this country.
