The economic importance of tourism in Germany

Tourism is not only one of the most important economic factors worldwide, but also makes a significant contribution to the German economy.

But how big is this contribution really?

The exact determination is complex, as tourism is a cross-sector industry that is closely intertwined with many other markets. This makes it difficult to precisely define the relevant sub-sectors. For example, the retail trade benefits considerably from tourism, but cannot be fully attributed to this sector. As a result, there are often only rough estimates and projections of the amounts generated, as there are no exact figures for individual sectors.
