Most tourists in Germany come from the country itself. The trend towards travelling to all kinds of regions, from the Baltic Sea to the Alps, has continued in recent years. According to the Federal Statistical Office, hotels, guesthouses and campsites recorded 223.8 million overnight stays in the first six months of this year, a new record for Germany.

And the growing number of guests booking holiday flats online is not even counted. Germans also top the rankings for online bookings of holiday rentals, followed by visitors from the Netherlands, Poland and the United States.
