Germans booked 35.1 million vacations online last year, according to BITKOM. That's nearly one vacation
booked online for every two Germans. The country's total population was
82.4 million in July 2006, according to the US Census Bureau. Germans average 35 vacation days per year, compared with 13 in the US, according to the World Tourism Organization.
The number of leisure trips that Germans reserve online has been rising steadily since 2003.
