Summer 2024 saw the number of Luxembourg residents holidaying at home increase by a third, compared to five years ago.

Minister of Tourism Lex Delles said visitor satisfaction was high, in a press briefing on Monday morning.

Delles pointed to initiatives such as the "Vëlosummer" cycling campaign, or "Lëtzebuerg, dat ass Vakanz" - a campaign aiming to rediscover the Grand Duchy's cultural riches - as helping to boost homegrown tourism.

The minister added that it was vital to invest further in the tourism sector. Current projects include the renovations at Vianden swimming pool, new signage around the Guttland trail in Lintgen, and modernisation works at the Parc Merveilleux amusement park in Bettembourg.

Delles said the only downside to the summer was the fact that campsites were affected by bad weather this year.
