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

In North Rhine-Westphalia, the holiday industry is optimistic as, according to current reports, the summer holidays are well booked. Demand is particularly high in 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 still free accommodations for last-minute travelers, as long as you are flexible on site. However, holiday apartments are slowly becoming scarce, while many hotels still have rooms available depending on the period. The situation is particularly important for holiday 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 occupancy in these areas is also high. This development should be viewed in the context of a general price increase, which rose by an average of 9.8 percent from 2019 to 2024. The reasons for this lie in higher personnel and energy costs. This summer prices are slightly higher than last year, which not least influences the attractiveness of the holiday regions.

The majority of holidaymakers in these regions come from North Rhine-Westphalia. However, there are also guests from Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse as well as many Dutch and Belgians among the travelers. This development shows that North Rhine-Westphalia is becoming increasingly attractive as a holiday region and is attracting visitors from neighboring countries.
