Tourist
Berlin - Arab Today
The number of visitors staying overnight in Germany increased by 3 percent in the first half of 2016, compared with the same period last year, the German statistics office Destatis said on Wednesday.
Germany welcomed about 199.2 million tourists between January and June.
The number of domestic and foreign visitors both grew by 3 percent to 163.7 million and 35.5 million respectively.
The number of overnight stays in June, however, dropped by 1 percent, compared with last June, mainly due to the loss of foreign guests.
Only establishments with an accommodation capacity of at least 10 visitors were considered for these statistics.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
