Germany: The Rising Star of GCC Business & MICE Travel

As the world redefines the landscape of business travel post-pandemic, one destination is making remarkable strides in the Gulf region—Germany. A new press release from the German National Tourist Office – GCC reveals how Germany is becoming the top choice for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and corporate travel from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.


Germany’s Strategic Appeal to GCC Business Travellers


Germany isn’t just known for its castles, culture, or cuisine—it’s now carving a solid space in global business tourism. With a thriving tourism economy, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and a welcoming environment tailored to GCC cultural preferences, the country is elevating the business travel experience to a whole new level.

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the German travel and tourism sector is set to contribute €468.7 billion to GDP in 2024, growing to €553.5 billion by 2034. Business travel accounts for a massive 21% of international visits to Germany—more than double the European average.


Key Stats:


  • 85.3 million international overnight stays in 2024

  • 57.4 million trips from Europe alone, with 11.9 million for business
