This article states that vacationing in Germany has significantly increased recently, and with this, German stereotypes of “cold and impatient” people have been proven false. It attributes the recent influx of tourism to the cheap cost of hotels and the quick city tours.

Also, I find the title a bit misleading because of the use of the word “prejudices” in place of “stereotypes”. I thought the article would focus on Germans becoming more accepting of immigrants because of the recent increase in tourism.
