Denmark: overnight stays after COVID-19 by accommodation type 2020

The accommodation sector in Denmark has been heavily affected by the coronavirus outbreak. As of June 2020, however, the number of overnight stays started increasing. While hotels in Denmark counted roughly two million overnight stays in August 2019, the number amounted to around 1.2 million in August 2020. However, the number of overnight stays in holiday houses exceeded those of the previous year.

On March 11, 2020, Denmark officially shut down and closed all borders only a few days later. For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.
