City tourism from home and abroad is one of the most important economic sectors for the Hanseatic city. The number of travelers has grown steadily through 2019, most recently to over 7.6 million. In the two years Corona 2020 and 2021, with just under 3.2 million and 3.3 million respectively, not even half of the overnight guests came to Hamburg. For the first six months of 2022, the number now totals a whopping 2.9 million, compared to 2019 only a little less than about 18%.
Otremba: “The booking numbers are encouraging”
Hamburg’s head of tourism, Michael Otremba, was clearly pleased with Monday’s good figures: “The number of guests is above all one thing: a compliment to the hosts and the tourism family. It is indescribable the effort required to address the challenges and at the same time meeting such a large demand from a fixed start, “he said. If we look to the next few months, which could bring a new crown problem, there is also some concern: “The booking figures for the next few months are encouraging. But the next few months still hold fundamental challenges.” Senator for economics Michael Westhagemann (independent) similarly said: “Today we can say that the period of suffering is over, hopefully in the long term.”
Good figures also in the far north
Tourism in Schleswig-Holstein also rose to a pre-coronavirus level in June. In the month, 1,075 million overnight stays arrived, one percent less than in June 2019. However, the number of overnight stays booked (4,627,000) increased by 6.7 percent compared to June 2019.
