Nuremberg 7 July 2010.  The booking peak is still lingering in spite of the Soccer World Cup and the fine summer weather outside. Compared with the months before, the growth decelerates a little in June however, as it is only 4 %, which reduces the average increase rate of the whole summer season 2010 by 0.2 percentage points to now + 5.7 percent.

In terms of departures, June improves slightly on the previous month thanks to last minute bookings, yet turnovers are 2.3 percent less than last year. The Soccer World Cup is probably a reason why the inhabitants of Germany seem to go on travel more hesitantly, but the decrease is not dramatic anyway. After all, June is evidently the only month without a turnover increase in this summer season. According to current booking level, the rest of the travel months from July until October register increases in turnover between five and eleven percent, and despite minor losses that emerge in a month-by-month comparison.
