More than two million tourists from the Gulf region visited Germany in the first 11 months of last year, according to German National Tourist Office.

“2015 was especially successful in attracting visitors from this region, with over 2 million overnight stays recorded,” said Maria Amaral, Director of the Marketing & Sales Office of the German National Tourist Office (GNTO) in the Gulf region.

The German National Tourism Board (GNTB) also hosted roadshows which began in Kuwait and concluded in Dubai on the 24th, passing by the UAE capital Abu Dhabi.
