Tourists in Denmark consist mainly of people from neighboring countries, especially Germany, followed by Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands. With 4.7 million visitor arrivals in 2007, Denmark ranked 43rd in the UNWTO World Tourism rankings as you can see in Denmark tourist map. Statistics show, however, that the total annual number of overnight stays in Denmark is currently declining. Denmark has many sandy beaches which attract mainly German tourists. Swedish and Norwegian tourists often come to visit the relatively lively city of Copenhagen while many young Scandinavians come for Denmark cheap and readily accessible beer, wines and spirits. As Europe oldest kingdom and the home of Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark is often marketed as a "fairytale country". The term is so ingrained that it is still used in international news reports, especially when the news is of a nature contradicting the image such as the Copenhagen riots or the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy.
The tourism industry is growing in Denmark, and increasing numbers of tourists pay a visit to the Nordic country. With over 56.1 million overnight stays in 2019, Denmark registered the highest number of overnight stays in its history, continuing the annual increase since 2012. Most overnight stays were made by international tourists, reaching 28.9 million in 2019, while 27.2 million nights were spent by domestic tourists as its shown in Denmark tourist map. The increase in both the number of overnight stays and number of tourists aligns well with Denmark national tourism strategy for 2025: increasing the number of overnight stays by 17 million, and generating a revenue of 140 billion Danish kroner. In 2018, the revenue of the tourism industry reached 132.5 billion Danish kroner, most of which were generated in the municipality of Copenhagen. Furthermore, 169 thousand jobs were created within the industry. Needless to say, the tourism industry plays an important role in terms of both economic development and employment in Denmark.
Among the Nordic countries, Denmark attracts the most tourists by far. Since 2008, 45 percent of all overnight stays in the Nordics were spent in Denmark. In 2019, most tourists stayed in holiday houses in the Region of Southern Denmark, while hotels were the most popular accommodation type in the Capital Region as its mentioned in Denmark tourist map. The largest share of tourists visited Denmark to experience the coast and nature, and aside from domestic tourists, German travelers paid the most visits to the country. The neighboring countries, Germany, Norway and Sweden all accounted for the highest number of visits to Denmark. In 2018, the majority of visits came from Germany with nearly 3.5 million visits.
