Cologne scalesCologne’s tourism scaled new highs in 2017 and was the best in Cologne’s history, with a total of 3.59 m guests arriving and 6.24 m overnight stays.

 
According to official registration records, there were 7.3 per cent increase in arrivals and 8.1 per cent more overnight stays in hotels compared to the previous year. Visitors from abroad were even greater, with an 8.9 per cent increase of arrivals and a 9.2 per cent increase of overnight stays.

 
A new study published by the tourism consulting company, dwif, confirms the increased value creation that tourism brings to Cologne.

 
In the past five years, the number of overnight stays by tourists in Cologne has increased by 23.2 per cent — far more than the corresponding increase for tourists in Germany as a whole (11.2 per cent) and the average increase in overnight stays in the ten biggest German cities (17.9 per cent).

 
“The visitor figures, which have once again increased significantly, demonstrate that Cologne continues to be an attractive destination for business and leisure travellers from Germany and abroad,” says Josef Sommer, CEO of the Cologne Tourist Board.
