Duisburg is located on the planned new silk road to China and with its inner harbour, which is also the largest inner harbour in the world, is considered the heart of the German Rhine-Ruhr region, which has over 10 million inhabitants. According to international criteria, the Duisburg port has a seaport status, which allows seagoing ships to enter the port.
2018 has proved to be another record year with almost 260,000 overnight stays and confirms the annual growth of 7 – 12 % of the last 5 years. The steady growth of recent years at the Duisburg hotel market is one of the most attractive
in Germany and should be further accelerated in the coming years by the wholesale centre promoted by the Chinese Starhai Group with a planned investment volume of around 260 million EUR. Duisburg, which is ideally located in the heart of Europe for the “One belt One Road” initiative, was to become one of the main arrival points for goods transported to Europe by rail as part of this major project.
Duisburg is still the most important central European centre of steelmaking and has the largest number of production sites worldwide. The steel giant ArcelorMittal and Thyssenkrupp AG, for example, as well as major companies in other sectors such as Mitsubishi – Hitachi PS have their European headquarters in the city on the Rhine. Another aspect worth mentioning is the settlement of more than 250 Chinese companies in the city centre of Duisburg. The project location is ideally situated at an ideal distance from the industrial centre and lies directly at the landing state of the well-known ‘Weissen Flotte’. In addition, the pleasant proximity to the leisure and entertainment district of Duisburg and the high visibility for all vehicles coming from the motorway offers additional value to the project.
