Stephan Weidner / Thomas Chrusciel
Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Stralsund University of Applied Sciences (FB Wirtschaft), course: Tourism Geography and Ecology, language: English, abstract: This paper is concerned with the development of the spatial patterns of demand of German tourists. It attempts to show where Germans have travelled throughout the last 200 years as well as the historic causes for this developmen.The paper concentrates on the developments after 1871, the end of the German–French war, after a unified and strong German State had emerged in the region where Germany is nowadays located. This paper is in particular concerned with the tourists travelling for leisure rather than business, as spatial patterns of demand of business travel are not dependent on the preferences of the individual tourist, but on the necessities of the business concerned.
