The boost means the country saw a total of 5,541,744 overnight stays taken by Brits in the country while January 2016 has continued the trend, a 10.2% increase in overnight stays by UK visitors saw 290,960 being made.
German National Tourist Office director for UK and Ireland Klaus Lohmann said: “It’s clear from the popularity of rural interest television shows, specialist publications and the media, that people in the UK and Ireland have a deep-seated love and respect for rural life – just as we do in Germany.
“Exploring rural and ‘green’ Germany will enable visitors to discover many fascinating regions and areas they may not previously have known, with picture-box villages, incredible landscapes and the chance to relax and get away from it all.”
