One in four Gardaland guests arrive from outside Italy with more than half of the international visitors hailing from German-speaking countries.

“In 2022 we recorded 25 percent foreign tourists, 65 percent of them from German-speaking areas, more precisely 37.7 percent from Germany, 13.1 percent from Switzerland and 14.4 percent from Austria,” explains Sabrina De Carvalho, Managing Director of Gardaland and Regional RTP Europe of theme park group Merlin Entertainments.

“Here, tourists from abroad make up more than 40 percent, they come mainly from German-speaking countries: Austria, Switzerland and Germany – in line with visitors to Lake Garda – followed by Israel and France,” says De Carvalho.

“For the current season, we have already recorded 17 percent bookings from German tourists. We are confident that we will achieve excellent results again this year.”
