Dutch tourists spent the most nights in Germany, with around 10.27 million overnight stays recorded in 2022. This was a more than double increase compared to 2021. Switzerland and the U.S. rounded up the top three incoming tourism countries in this ranking.
Overnight success
The number of overnight stays in German travel accommodation has been growing in general, with the exception of the coronavirus (COVID-19) years of 2020 and 2021. Increasing numbers may be attributed, among other reasons, to the wide choice of overnight establishments available and transparent booking methods. Numerous German cities are popular destinations among European and international tourists stopping for more than a day. The majority of international tourists coming to Germany preferred to stay in hotels.
Tourism in German states
Germany has 16 federal states, each with something different to offer, with distinctive tourist attractions and local customs. Statistics show varying figures for overnight stays by state. As of 2022, around 20.5 percent of overnight stays in tourist accommodation were in Bavaria, the country's southernmost state, a popular vacation region both domestically and internationally.
