Germany is poised to welcome a remarkable surge in tourism with the UEFA Euro 2024 illuminating the nation’s cultural and scenic splendours. As the tournament kicks off on June 14, the country braces for an influx of over 2.7 million stadium spectators and an additional 7 million fans engaging in public viewings, reminiscent of the enthusiasm seen during the 2006 World Cup.
This anticipated visitor boom underscores Germany’s appeal as a prime European travel destination, especially highlighted through its ‘Germany Simply Inspiring’ campaign, which showcases the country’s commitment to sustainable tourism.
The German National Tourist Board (GNTB) is at the forefront, ensuring that global tourists, including those from India, are well-informed about the host cities and the myriad attractions that lie beyond. This effort not only facilitates smooth travel planning but also encourages visitors to explore Germany’s uncharted territories — from serene landscapes and culinary gems to urban marvels and historical sites.
Romit Theophilus, the Director of Marketing & Sales Office – India at the GNTO, emphasizes the campaign’s aim to project a positive image of Germany among Indian tourists while offering sustainable travel tips. This narrative aligns with the artistic heritage of Germany, notably through the works of Caspar David Friedrich, whose allegorical landscapes offer a contemplative journey into nature’s embrace, urging a slower, more mindful approach to travel.
Art aficionados and nature lovers alike are invited to follow in Friedrich’s footsteps, exploring destinations like the chalk cliffs on Rügen Island and the Zittau Mountains, which echo his deep connection with the natural world. As Friedrich’s 250th birthday approaches, an array of commemorative events is planned in his hometown of Greifswald, promising an enriching cultural experience.
Moreover, Germany offers an array of leisurely road trips that meander through its stunning landscapes, ideal for families and individuals alike. Whether it’s traversing treetop trails, delving into silver mines, or exploring the fish-route, Germany presents a treasure trove of experiences, making it a must-visit destination during UEFA Euro 2024 and beyond.
