The now fifth completely revised edition of the Altenburg Bathing Facilities Report is again based on current data from 1,000 bathing facilities and 400 sauna facilities in Germany. On 130 pages, you will find statistical evaluations on prices, opening hours, water areas, and utilization, as well as business key figures. The analysis is carried out specifically by facility type, including indoor pools, outdoor pools, bathing lakes, indoor-outdoor pools, leisure pools, and thermal baths. Furthermore, the evaluations are structured by federal states. The Gastronomy Report also provides current trends and figures on gastronomy in bathing and sauna facilities. A dedicated, detailed special section describes how the industry can successfully respond to the challenges of staff shortages, digitalization, and sustainability.
Excerpt from the Editorial:
“The lingering effects of Corona, almost simultaneously the war in Ukraine, and the consequences of climate change have had massive structural impacts on the bathing industry. These particularly affect opening hours, pricing, digitalization, and sustainability. Personnel is increasingly becoming a matter of availability rather than just cost. This too is part of the new reality “Post-Covid”. The special section is dedicated to these topics.
Naturally, in addition, we have updated, prepared, and commented on the data and facts from 1,000 bathing facilities and 400 sauna facilities in the Bathing Facilities Report 2024. The Gastronomy Report is also included again in an updated and revised form.
The experience from 30 years of bathing facility consulting with 30 to 40 consulting projects per year is incorporated into the commentaries, providing you with a well-founded overview of the German bathing market”
