About Germany
There are many good reasons to visit Germany. European tourists opt for trips to Berlin, Munich, or Hamburg because of the exciting culture and lively cities. Businesspeople from all over the world are attracted to Germany as the top destination for international trade fairs. The ever-growing number of visitors has long since become an important economic factor.
How many international tourists come to Germany?
The German National Tourism Board (DZT) counted 84 million overnight stays by international travelers in hotels, guest houses, and campsites in 2017: the eighth record results in a row. The largest percentage of tourists come from Germany’s neighboring country Netherlands (11.2 million), followed by Switzerland (6.7 million) and the USA (6.2 million).
What are the forecasts for the travel market in Germany?
The DZT expects the annual number of overnight stays by international guests to rise to about 121.5 million by 2030. Most will still be from European countries. In addition, the experts expect more tourists from South America and Southeast Asia.

The northwest has a coastline on the North Sea while the Baltic coastline in the northeast stretches from the Danish to the Polish border.

In what was once known as West Germany, the Rhine, Bavaria, and the Black Forest stand as the three most famous features, while in the east, the country is lake-studded with undulating lowlands. River basins extend over a large percentage of the region, and some of Europe’s most prominent rivers ow through the country. These include the Elbe, the Danube, and the Rhine.
