Retail - with the power to attract
Retail locations have to attract shoppers - as does Lübeck. And this Hanseatic City provides an outstanding future-oriented environment. Here, both the manufacturing and service sectors are equally supported and fostered, resulting in increasing levels of employment and strengthened purchasing power in the region, for the medium-term and beyond. Numerous examples of corporate and public investment are clear evidence of this. Whether in the food industry, engineering, logistics or higher education, the manufacturers and service providers of this university city are well equipped for the future.
The ongoing positive development in tourism is an additional factor bolstering the demand potential for Lübeck's retailers. Ten million day visitors come to Lübeck every year - and there are over one million overnight stays. The fact that a large proportion of these are affluent, free-spending Scandinavians is just one of many reasons for Lübeck's high centrality index of 146.7. A centrality index of more than 100 shows by how many percent the amount spent in the city by customers from the immediate surroundings and from further afield exceeds the amount spent outside the municipal area by city residents.
