A key factor was the increased number of German visitors to the region. Whilst the German numbers increased by only 4.4%, this country provides half of all the tourist visits from all nations.
At the same time, guests from the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK all contributed to the growth in numbers and this is corroborated by Kristall Spaces’ own data when conferring with the operators of our previous and current developments: all apartment owners and their operating companies are seeing healthy rental returns.
Interestingly, Chinese visitors delivered a 55% growth year on year when it comes to total numbers of guests.
As predicted, Russian numbers have suffered and the statistics point to a 35% decrease in both guests and overnight stays.
Other nations posting increased visits were the Belgium, Italy, Czech Republic and Poland – Italy by as much as 10%.
What type of accommodation are they choosing increasingly?
Rented apartments – like the ones Kristall Spaces builds for ownership with a flexible rental and management model.
