Erstmals seit Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie konnten touristische Aktivitäten in der Sommersaison 2022 wieder uneingeschränkt stattfinden, sodass die Nachfrage im Vergleich zum Vorjahr deutlich anzog (Ankünfte +27,3%, Nächtigungen +17,2%). Mit 24 Mio. Ankünften und rund 78 Mio. Übernachtungen wurde schon fast wieder das Vorkrisenniveau des Sommers 2019 erreicht (Ankünfte –6,2%, Nächtigungen –1,4%). Die Aussichten für den Winter 2022/23 sind mit Teuerungswelle und Energieunsicherheiten wesentlich volatiler, jedoch vorsichtig optimistisch – eine gute Buchungslage zu Winterbeginn dürfte den Nächtigungsrückstand zur Saison 2018/19 auf schätzungsweise 5% reduzieren.

Tourism Analysis: Summer Demand in 2022 almost at Pre-crisis Level, Promising Booking outlook for the Start of the Winter Season
For the first time since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, tourist activities were able to take place again without restrictions in the summer season of 2022, so that demand increased significantly compared to the previous year (arrivals +27.3 percent, overnight stays +17.2 percent). With 24 million arrivals and around 78 million overnight stays, the pre-crisis level of summer 2019 was almost reached again (arrivals –6.2 percent, overnight stays –1.4 percent). The outlook for winter 2022-23 is more volatile due to inflationary waves and energy uncertainties, but cautiously optimistic – a good booking situation at the beginning of winter should reduce the overnight gap to the 2018-19 season to an estimated 5 percent.
