The hospitality industry in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) has shown signs of recovery following the pandemic, although it has not yet fully returned to pre-pandemic (2019) levels. According to available data, the first quarter of 2022 saw a nominal increase of 112.0% in turnover for the hospitality industry compared to the same period in the previous year.
However, a comparison with 2019 indicates a different picture. The turnover in the hotel industry was 43.5% lower, while catering companies' turnover was 21.9% below the level of March 2019. In the accommodation sector, there was a 41.6% decrease in turnover compared to March 2019.
Despite these figures, there are signs of improvement. Compared to February 2022, turnover in accommodation increased by 32.3%, and there was an increase of 17.7% in catering companies' turnover. Restaurants, guesthouses, snack bars, and cafes recorded an impressive 93.5% increase compared to the previous year.
The number of employees in the North Rhine-Westphalian hospitality industry was 20.5% higher in March 2022 than in March 2021. Furthermore, the industry had a real turnover increase of 104% compared to the same month of the previous year, adjusted for inflation.
Looking ahead, the trend suggests partial recovery continuing beyond early 2022. While precise Q1 2022 performance compared to 2019 is not detailed in the available data, contextual information indicates a trend of recovery followed by growth in subsequent years. For instance, a 2025 report by Covivio reveals revenues from hotel properties increased by 5.3% on a like-for-like basis in the first half of 2025 compared to previous periods, reflecting continued recovery and growth in the hospitality sector.
