The ADAC (German Automobile Club) and the Caravaning Industry Verband (CIVD) recently invited members of German parliament to discuss the potential leisure and caravan or RV vacations offers. The political representatives were impressed by the industry’s economic key figures and the trend towards leisure-vehicle (or RV) tourism in Germany. This activity has been on an unprecedented upswing in this decade. In 2018, registrations of new leisure vehicles reached a new high.
According to the CIVD press release, "In total, leisure-vehicle manufacturers registered sales amounting to more than 11 billion euros in 2018. More so, there are currently 3,000 campsites and 3,600 motor caravan pitches. Even though the number especially of pitches has increased in the past twenty years, the huge popularity of leisure-vehicle tourism leads to a lack of capacities during high season. The CIVD calls for a funding and promoting to support expansions and new constructions of pitches. Political representatives for tourism stayed open minded towards this demand.
