According to EU Helpers, German lodging companies reported a total of 57.1 million overnight stays in August of this year. This is a 1.3% reduction from August of last year and a 1.9% decrease from 2019.

In August 2023, there were 47.6 million overnight stays by domestic visitors, down 3.4% from the same month the year before, according to Destatis, the Federal Statistical Office in Germany. In contrast, there was a 1.0% rise in the quantity of overnight stays as compared to August 2019.

Destatis also offered information about the patterns of overnight stays in August from 2019 to 2023. Compared to August 2019, when there were 57.8 million overnight stays, there were 49.5 million overnight stays in August 2020, a 14.35% decline.

However, by August 2021, it had increased to 55.9 million, demonstrating a significant rise in just one year. With a sharp decline in overnight stays in August 2020 compared to the year before, 2019, this data demonstrates the pandemic's effects.

In addition, the Destatis statistics showed that May was the only month in which overnight stays increased compared to 2019, with a 5.3% gain. May had 44.5 million overnight stays in 2019 compared to 46.3 million in 2023, demonstrating the month's notable increase in the number of visits.

April, on the other hand, comes out as the month with the biggest decline, highlighting the pandemic's effects from 2019 to 2020. The number of overnight stays fell sharply from 40.3 million in April 2019 to just 4.3 million in April 2020, a staggering 89.33 percent fall.

These figures demonstrate that Germany is working to increase tourism to levels seen in 2019. A lot of foreign visitors are anticipated to enter Germany during the winter holiday season, according to a previous EU Helpers assessment showing the nation's travel and tourism sector is up to 95% of pre-pandemic levels.
