Sell hotel – Tourism and guest numbers

Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt and nationwide: Tourism in Germany is booming and has been shining with new record numbers for over 10 years. Accordingly, the number of overnight guests is naturally increasing, as is the demand for hotels in the real estate market. From the stylish, luxurious boutique hotel in the city center to hotels with attached gastronomy and event areas. In Germany, people are not only taking more vacations, but also spending more money on them. As a result, prices for overnight stays are rising, and the hotel industry is becoming a lucrative business for more and more companies and entrepreneurs.

Therefore: The real estate market and the tourism market are both currently on the rise. If you sell now, you will achieve a good selling price – why wait for the next real estate bubble?

Overnight stays in German accommodation establishments from 1992 to 2018 (in millions).

Help and Definition

The most important forms of representation and terms at a glance:

Why are the studies so selective?

The Federal Statistical Office only offers a part of the information for free use. A large portion of the statistics that have been prepared for use are only available with a Premium account. This Premium account at the Federal Statistical Office costs 49 € per month.

What is a bar chart?

Bar charts are the most common form of statistical results used by the Federal Statistical Office. In a bar chart, different values are displayed on a scale. The scale extends along one axis and contains a value, such as the number of inhabitants or the average income. The other axis then carries the different types or classes, for example, different age groups or the subdivision into different districts.

What is a pie chart?

The pie chart format is used relatively rarely by the Federal Statistical Office. A pie chart displays statistical values in a 100% distribution. A pie, meaning a circle, represents 100%. When entering individual values, a straight line is drawn from the edge to the center, creating small triangles, one side slightly rounded. This creates the optical effect of a pie slice. That is why this form of presenting statistical values is also called a pie chart.

What does the Federal Statistical Office do?

As an authority, the Federal Statistical Office is responsible for collecting general, relevant data. This data is used, among other things, by various ministries, as well as by associations, private individuals, and naturally also by students and students. The Federal Statistical Office is based in Berlin, but is also represented by various offices throughout the country.

Are the statistical data representative?

Yes, the surveys conducted by the Federal Statistical Office are mostly representative surveys or results from extrapolations. The data are therefore interesting for many population groups, from the real estate agent who wants to observe the demographic development of a particular area to students preparing for a presentation or a major research paper. Thus, the Federal Statistical Office fulfills a major and important task in Germany.
