Post-pandemic, foreign tourists started trickling back cautiously. There was a 1.0% linear increase in German tourists' overnight stays, recording 232.2 million in the first seven months. In the month of July, a notable 57.5 million overnight stays were recorded, marking a 1.0% increase compared to the prior year.

Germany's tourist industry continues to show improvement, with neighboring countries also contributing. In August, France alone recorded a 4.3% rise in overnight stays in German accommodations.
Despite strong performances from other European nations, Germany remains a top destination. Data from Eurostat shows that Germany welcomed the most international tourists among all European Union countries in 2021.
