Koserow / Loddin / Bansin (dpa / mv) - The mood among hoteliers on the island of Usedom continues to cloud over.
While their houses have to remain closed to tourists, vacationers from Germany are allowed to travel to Mallorca.
“That was a real shock for all of us,” says Anja Raffelt-Schäfer, the manager of the “Hanse-Kogge” hotel in the Baltic Sea resort of Koserow: “We were really so fair the whole time, we obeyed all the rules” and then comes the information that tourists from Germany could vacation on Mallorca, but not on the Baltic Sea.
Your hotel with around 270 beds spent a lot of money in the first lockdown to increase the protection against infections in the house.
For example, for the conversion of the breakfast buffet, the signage and for disinfectant dispensers, Raffelt-Schäfer lists.
"We are ready to travel safely from Easter," says the chairwoman of the Usedom Island Tourism Association, Nadine Riethdorf.
The situation in the industry is tense, without the opening of hotels soon it would be dangerous for some: “The support services are also only inadequate.
They are either way too late or only partially. "

Long after the involuntary closure of the hotels in November 2020, he still saw no prospects, reports the managing director of the hotel “Zur Post” in the seaside resort of Bansin, Sebastian Ader.
His company had no clarity about how the situation could be survived economically, nor did the employees know when it could start again.
"Our hygiene concept comprises 30 pages, we have put a lot of thought into it," emphasizes Ader.
The Robert Koch Institute has also classified the risk of infection in hotels as low, which is why he feels like a pawn, says Ader.
The fact that the financial losses caused by the closings are quickly absorbed is the least that politicians have to do.
The "Novemberhilfe" had only arrived a week ago.
