Further growth in german tourism market

Germany is becoming an increasingly popular destination for travellers from all over the world, even at a time of economic difficulty, according to the latest figures.

In September 2011 the destination achieved its best result since accommodation statistics started to be collected after the country’s reunification.

The latest figures from the German Federal Statistical Office show the number of overnight stays by international visitors in September 2011 rose by two per cent year on year to 6.3 million.

There was a total of 49.8 million overnight stays by international visitors between January and September 2011, an increase of six per cent compared with the same period of 2010.
