Hesse: Tourism figures in Hesse exceed pre-crisis levels

Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) - In August, the number of tourists in Hesse exceeded the level before the Corona crisis. As reported by the State Statistical Office on Thursday, the accommodation facilities counted a good 1.5 million guests, almost four percent more than in August 2019. The number of overnight stays rose by around one percent to more than 3.4 million in the same period.

The Main-Taunus district as well as the cities of Offenbach and Frankfurt increased significantly in terms of both the number of guests and the number of overnight stays. Only in the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg did the number of overnight stays fall (minus five percent).

The numbers had largely stabilized since May and almost reached the level of 2019.
