Between November and April, no fewer than 18.7 million overnight stays were recorded by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), 1.1% more than a year earlier.

The increase was fuelled only marginally by foreign demand (+0.5% to 9.3 million), while bookings by domestic guests rose by 1.6% to 9.5 million, according to the periodic report published on Monday.

December (+6.8%), January (+2.6%) and February (+2.9%) proved particularly successful.
