Summary:
Germany, with respect to tourism departures, spending, and propensity, is a very strong market in the global tourism arena. German tourism has been increasing steadily over the past few decades, following the world trend. The objective of this paper is to assess the influence of Germans on world patterns during this era of tourism growth. The central focus is to determine to what extent the Germans act as allocentric trendsetters in world patterns. Arrival ranks of the most popular current and historic destinations of world tourists and Germans were compared, and destination choices were analyzed with respect to tourist behavior theory. It was found that the Germans demonstrate several types of tourism motivations, and are influential both regionally and globally.
