Reduced Overnight Accommodations in Thuringia - Reduced Sleeping Hours in Thuringia

The state of Thuringia, a popular tourist destination in Germany, has seen a positive shift in its tourism industry compared to the first half of 2023. However, the overall picture is not entirely rosy, with some regions experiencing declines.

According to the state statistics office, the number of overnight stays in Thuringia for the first half of the year stood at 4.6 million, a slight decrease of 1.3 percent compared to the same period last year. This decrease was also reflected in the number of guests, which decreased by 1.1 percent to 1.8 million.

The most significant declines in overnight stays were recorded in the Wartburg-Hainich region and the Saale region. In contrast, only Erfurt and the Eichsfeld region in Thuringia saw an increase in overnight stays, although the statistics office did not provide specific numbers for these increases.

The Thuringian Forest (Thüringer Wald), the most popular region in Thuringia, showed declines in both guest arrivals and overnight stays. All other tourist regions in Thuringia recorded declines in overnight stays, with the statistics office not providing specific numbers for the declines in other regions.

Despite these declines, the first half of 2023 still ranks in a very good third place when looking back over the past ten years in Thuringia. Compared to the first half of 2023, the industry in Thuringia is in the black, indicating a positive financial performance.

It's important to note that the development in the accommodation industry in Germany does not include data for the second half of the year. Therefore, the final picture for Thuringia's tourism industry in 2023 is yet to be fully understood.

In conclusion, while Thuringia's tourism industry has shown some positive signs, there are also areas of concern, particularly in certain regions. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends develop in the second half of the year.
