Sylt – Island only for the rich? The new SWR documentary is about the most popular German island: Sylt! Did you know? Sylt (99.2 km²) is the largest German North Sea island, ahead of Föhr, Nordstrand and Pellworm. Prices per square metre are rising. Not only the local inhabitants are becoming increasingly elitist, but also the tourists are driving up prices. The more space goes to tourists, the less remains for the residents of Sylt.
We have analysed the data, from 2013 to 2017 alone (latest figures available) overnight stays on the island have increased by +2.08%. In figures, that is 690,461 overnight stays more. In total, Sylt has over 7 million overnight stays per year.
