“German visitors contributing more than 7.5 million – roughly 29 % of the total and a modest 1.4 % rise on the year before.”

“total overnight stays climbed from about 25.5 million in H1 2025.”

“German travellers booked more than 7.5 million overnight stays in the same period, up from roughly 7.4 million in H1 2025.”

“The share of German stays in the total market therefore sits at about 28.8 percent.”

“A 0.5 million increase in total stays (from 25.5 million to 26 million) represents roughly a 2 % uplift in demand across the sector.”

“The 1.4 % rise in German overnight stays is small in absolute terms – roughly 100,000 additional stays.”
