Vacation on Usedom: How guests and prices change drastically!

In the picturesque region of Usedom, not only the endless beaches and the clear water provide enthusiasm among vacationers, but also the stories of the landlords. Karin Wohlat-Meyendorf and her husband Norbert have invested in the former water plot in West Klüne, a small fishing village with at least 240 years of history. But their experiences as hosts are anything but everyday. The place, which once had only 12 houses and 17 inhabitants, is now in the shade of a tragic incident: On December 11, 2013, a house burned down, which had a tragic consequence that two seniors lost their lives. Despite this dark story, Westklinge is slowly blooming to an insider tip for those seeking relaxation, as holidaysinsel-Usedom.de.

In recent years, however, the guest behavior has changed. After the restrictions by pandemic, vacationers from the new federal states bring higher expectations in terms of accommodation. "The prices for food and beach baskets are covered," Karin finds this as outrageous and realizes that many guests feed themselves. This often leads to unpleasant garbage problems in your holiday rooms. In order to meet these challenges, the Meyendorfs have adapted their accommodation concept: the rooms are only offered with breakfast to meet the demands of visitors and at the same time to ensure cleanliness.

This varied landscape is attracting more and more visitors and the change to tourism becomes noticeable, which is also confirmed by the website holidaysinsel-Usedom.de. The region not only offers tasteful new holiday homes, but also apartments and apartments that offer guests comfortable accommodation. The calm locations play a major role for those seeking relaxation with many animals.

Karin Wohlat-Meyendorf has also noticed that many guests often open up with the way of thinking of a custody casual. This can also be seen in the experience of the thefts of small objects, such as a sealing ring from the shower head. In order to meet these challenges, she appeals to other landlords to rethink their offers to create more flexible rental conditions: "Why not rent only for a weekend?" She asks.
