Germans are keen travellers and new statistics released on Thursday confirmed that despite strikes, financial crisis and global conflicts, more Germans than ever are taking off.
The body of a German man killed on the Costa Concordia cruise ship was found on Tuesday, the Italian media said. Divers have recovered five more victims, bringing the confirmed death toll to 11.
Twelve Germans are missing from the huge cruise liner which ran aground and partially sank off the Italian coast on Friday night, killing at least six passengers and leaving scores injured.
