Summer vacation in NRW: popular regions booked well, waiting spontaneous places!

In North Rhine-Westphalia, the holiday industry is optimistic, since the summer vacation is well booked according to current reports. The demand is particularly high in the Sauerland, Eifel and Münsterland. The spokesman for Sauerland-Tourism is satisfied with the current booking situation and emphasizes that despite the general popularity this season, there are also free accommodations for those who have decided to spend, provided you are flexible on site. However, it is slowly becoming scarce in the apartments, while in many hotels there are still rooms in the period. The situation is particularly important for vacation guests who book depending on the weather: cyclists and families with younger children are popular target groups.

Camping is a big topic in the North Rhine-Westphalian holiday regions, especially near lakes. The comfort and access to nature attract many vacationers, so that the utilization in these areas is also strong. This development should be considered in connection with a general increase in price, which rose by average by 9.8 percent from 2019 to 2024. The reasons for this lie in higher personnel and energy costs. This summer the prices are slightly above the previous year's level, which is not least affected by the attractiveness of the holiday regions.
