Foreign travelers demonstrate hesitation towards visiting NRW, as reported.
In the heart of western Germany, the city of Neuss offers a rich tapestry of social developments, culinary arts, art, and culture. As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the tourism and accommodation sectors in the region, particularly North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), are showing signs of recovery.
The latest figures reveal that the number of overnight stays in NRW's accommodation establishments in June 2022 reached approximately 4.7 million, a significant increase of 97.7% compared to June 2021 (2.4 million). However, it is still 3.5% lower than the pre-pandemic levels of June 2019 (4.9 million).
The trend is similar for the total number of arrivals in NRW. In June 2022, the number of arrivals was 6.8% lower than before the pandemic (June 2019: 2.2 million), but a marked improvement from the previous year, with a total of 860,430 arrivals, representing a 141.5% increase compared to June 2021.
The foreign guest sector has also seen a notable resurgence. In June 2022, the number of foreign guests in NRW was 360,793, up 331.3% from the previous year. This figure, however, remains 22.1% lower than the number of foreign guests in June 2019.
The recovery is not limited to NRW alone. Across Germany, the real (price-adjusted) revenues in the first half of 2022 increased by 98.5% compared to the first half of 2021. While these revenues are still 22.1% below the level in the first half of the pre-crisis year 2019, the growth indicates a steady progression towards pre-pandemic levels.
