visitor count
The number of people who visit a place, an event, or a website.
Die Besucherzahl des Festivals hat dieses Jahr alle Erwartungen übertroffen.
The festival's visitor count exceeded all expectations this year.
The word is made up of 'Besucher' (visitor) and 'Zahl' (number). The 's' in between is a linking s that connects the two parts. So it literally means 'die Zahl der Besucher' (the number of visitors).
Die genaue Besucherzahl für das Konzert wird morgen bekannt gegeben.
The exact visitor count for the concert will be announced tomorrow.
'Besucherzahl' (visitor count) is often combined with verbs that express a change. Typical phrases are 'die Besucherzahl steigt/sinkt' (the visitor count rises/falls), 'hat sich erhöht/verringert' (has increased/decreased), or 'hat sich verdoppelt' (has doubled).
Dank des guten Wetters ist die Besucherzahl im Freibad stark gestiegen.
Thanks to the good weather, the visitor count at the outdoor pool rose sharply.
Common adjectives used with 'Besucherzahl' (visitor count) describe its level or development, for example 'hohe/niedrige Besucherzahlen' (high/low visitor numbers), 'steigende/sinkende Besucherzahlen' (rising/falling visitor numbers), or 'eine rekordverdächtige Besucherzahl' (a record-breaking visitor count).
Das Museum verzeichnete im letzten Jahr rekordverdächtige Besucherzahlen.
The museum recorded record-breaking visitor numbers last year.
number
'die Anzahl' and 'die Besucherzahl' both refer to a counted amount. 'Anzahl' is general and can be used for many things or people. 'Besucherzahl' is more specific: it only means the number of people who visit a place, an event, or a website. The words can be confused because 'Besucherzahl' is actually a special kind of 'Anzahl'. If it is not clear what is being counted, 'Anzahl' is too general. When it is about visitors, 'Besucherzahl' is more precise and more natural.
Im Museum ist die Besucherzahl am Wochenende deutlich gestiegen.
At the museum, the visitor count rose significantly over the weekend.
