Hanover (dpa / lni) - The tourism regions in Lower Saxony welcomed the opening for travelers planned for May 10, but at the same time criticized the concrete implementation.

In particular, the test specifications and the restriction to visitors from their own federal state met with incomprehension.

The opening perspective is a “light on the horizon”, said the managing director of the Harz Tourism Association, Carola Schmidt, on Thursday.

However, there are still many unanswered questions about the daily corona tests that guests of hotels, youth hostels and campsites are supposed to present.

The Göttingen District Administrator Bernhard Reuter (SPD) made a similar statement.

For example, he could not explain to anyone why a guest from a region in Hesse with incidence values ​​below 50 should not come - while one from Salzgitter, where the value is well over 100, is.

The daily tests, on the other hand, may not be a problem for large cities, but: "In rural areas it will be very difficult."

Hotels and restaurants across the country hung white sheets and tablecloths out of the windows on Thursday under the motto “We show the flag” to draw attention to their misery in the months of lockdown.

In front of the state parliament in Hanover, an action alliance of the industry presented its demands to Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD).
