There are increasingly more Indian tourists visiting Germany and they are playing a key role in driving this development. When compared to 2022 numbers, Indian tourists in Germany have grown 32.6% and the European nation country welcomed over 8 lakh overnight stays from India in 2023. This was revealed in a joint press conference by The German National Tourist Office (GNTO) and German Embassy in India,
In a bid to shore up revenue from tourism, the country aims to increase the visibility of the 52 UNESCO World Heritage sites and attract visitors interested in exploring its sustainable social heritage. The country’s commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly tourism practices also resonates with Indian travelers who prioritise responsible travel.
“Germany offers a wholesome experience of scenic beauty and a rich culture, combined with magical theme-routes and eco-friendly tourism. We believe it is the ideal destination for travelers wanting to revel in warm hospitality and scintillating cuisine,” said Romit Theophilus, Director of Marketing & Sales Office – India, GNTO.
Furthermore, Germany’s infrastructure, efficient transportation networks and high standards of safety and hygiene have positioned it as a preferred destination for seamless travel experiences.
“The growth of 32.6% compared to last year is no surprise, considering Germany’s impressive ranking in the global Nation Brands Index 2023. This year is even more exciting- we have our biggest European Football event, the Euro Cup, this summer, and we have a host of offerings in the cultural and historical sphere. Situated in the heart of Europe, Germany also offers a vibrant, dynamic, and commercially attractive destination for young travelers. This growing people-to-people contact is crucial in strengthening the foundation of our bilateral partnership like never before,” Georg Enzweiler, Deputy Head of Mission, German Embassy, added.
According to officials, as the global tourism industry continues to grow and spread its wings, Germany is confident about emerging as a top destination for travelers seeking memorable experiences in Europe.
