The significance of the German tourism
sector was recently indicated by its
4.4 % share of total gross value added.
The income and employment effects
associated with this are especially worthy of mention. Niedersachsen (Lower
Saxony) concluded the 2011 tourism
year on a high note with a record 39.4
million overnight stays, thus attaining
an increase of 2.5 % in comparison
with the previous year. These figures
document the growing importance of
the tourism sector as a fundamental
economic factor and underscore the
importance of a detailed consideration
of the influencing factors.

stays and incoming continues unabated. The number of foreign guests
staying overnight even increased by 8.5% in comparison with 2010.

Due to seasonal effects, overnight stay figures on the North Sea
coast are highest during the summer months and, on the other
hand, decline sharply during the winter months. This result also
indicates that these destinations are highly dependent on the
weather. Only slight seasonal declines are observed in southeastern Niedersachsen.

Around 85 % of all foreign overnight guests come from the European source market. The Netherlands and Denmark alone account for
approx. 41 % of the overall market. Thus the intercontinental markets
are less important for tourism in Niedersachsen.

holiday destination. The Dutch, for example, prefer to stay near
the border or on the Lüneburger Heide and in the Harz Mountains.
Scandinavian guests are drawn above all to eastern and southern
Niedersachsen.

foreign destination among Germans, and the nearby Netherlands

Inclusion of popular cross-cutting themes can serve as an important
instrument for orientation of regional marketing. This makes it easier
to appeal to theme holidaymakers from high-volume source markets. Wellness holidaymakers from NRW, for example, also go on
hiking, bicycling, and sports holidays with a frequency that is far
above average.
