Between November 2022 and February 2023, more than 18.2 million overnight stays were registered in the state. This was just below the pre-pandemic value.
As expected, the Tyrolean winter season so far is almost back to pre-Corona level in terms of overnight stays. Between November 2022 and February 2023, more than 18.2 million overnight stays were registered in the state, only 3.3% less than in the period from November 2018 to February 2019. Compared to the previous year, still partially influenced by Corona, there was an increase of 36.6 percent.
In February 2023 alone, Tyrol recorded around 7.2 million overnight stays, which is 26.7% more than in February of the previous year, according to a state broadcast on Monday. “These numbers make us optimistic and show that we are on the right track and that the Tyrol destination is still very popular,” said Mario Gerber (ÖVP), provincial tourism consultant. The mood among tour operators is also positive and optimistic about the upcoming summer season, Gerber referred to the corresponding feedback.
Significant increases in arrivals and overnight stays were evidently recorded mainly by guests from the Netherlands and Belgium. For example, tourists from the Netherlands had 15 percent more arrivals and four percent more overnight stays over the same period, while those from Belgium had 42.7 percent more arrivals and 51.2 percent more overnight stays. German tourists, for whom the federal state is still the most popular, remained loyal to Tyrol: compared to the 2018/2019 winter season, the number of overnight stays by German tourists dropped only minimally by 0.4%, according to officials. .
