Record overnight stays in April: domestic tourism is booming!
In April 2025, accommodation providers in Germany recorded a total of 41 million overnight stays. This represents a significant increase of 11% compared to April 2024, partly due to the late location of the Easter holidays and public holidays. These positive developments come after an 8.1% decline in overnight stays in March 2025 compared to March of the previous year. The figures show a clear trend: demand for overnight stays in Germany, both from domestic and international guests, is showing an encouraging development. Travel before9 also reports similar findings in the previous year.
Domestic travelers contributed significantly to this growth. Overnight stays by domestic guests rose by 12.4% to 34.4 million. This shows that Germans are ready to travel more again and use local accommodation options. In contrast, overnight stays by foreign guests only increased moderately by 4.1% and reached 6.6 million.
