Lower Saxony top preference for German tourists this summer:
Traum-Ferienwohnungen

Bremen, Germany: As summer season rolls in, Traum-Ferienwohnungen, one of
the leading online vacation rental platforms in Europe, has released
interesting insights into the travel behaviour and preferences of German
travellers. Based on the platform's booking and inquiry data, the report
highlights key trends that will shape summer travel in 2024.

In summer 2024, the states along the Baltic Sea and North Sea are garnering
the highest interest from travellers. Among these, Lower Saxony stands out
as the preferred destination for German tourists, thanks to its diverse
geography, which includes both pristine beaches and quaint mountains.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein follow closely behind
as popular choices for exploration this summer.

Bavaria, renowned for its vibrant music and theatre scene as well as its
rich cultural heritage, ranks fourth among Germans in summer 2024. Trailing
behind, Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg are also capturing the
attention of travellers, adding to the diverse tapestry of sought-after
destinations within Germany.

The Netherlands is emerging as the most popular international destination
among German tourists, with Italy, Austria, Croatia, and Spain following
suit. This contrasts with last summer when German tourists preferred Nordic
countries over Southern European ones.

Despite a slowdown in travel across Europe, German travelers exhibited
confidence this year about their summer plans, with the majority planning
their trips well in advance. Most guests planned their journeys 4-6 months
ahead of time.

Germans are also planning longer breaks this summer compared to the past
couple of years when shorter breaks were gaining popularity. The average
length of stay has increased to 9 days, up from 6 days last year.

Traditional holiday homes are the most preferred accommodation this summer,
chosen by 55% of travelers, followed by apartments at 23% and chalets at
11%.

In terms of amenities, swimming pools emerged as the top must-have for
German tourists, followed by dishwashers, terraces, and balconies.

Commenting on summer travel trends, Gautam Swaroop, CEO - OYO Vacation Homes
(parent entity of Traum-Ferienwohnungen) said, "This year's summer travel
trends paint a promising picture for the German tourism industry. We're
seeing strong demand, particularly for traditional holiday homes along the
Baltic Sea coast. This, coupled with longer planned trips, suggests a desire
for domestic getaways that will undoubtedly benefit local economies. We're
optimistic that this trend will continue throughout the peak season,
contributing to a revitalized German tourism landscape."
