Vacationers devastate Usedom: Landlord reports on scandalous incidents!

Westklüne, Deutschland - Usedom, the sunnest island in Germany, not only attracts tourists, but also presents landlords with new challenges. There are exciting stories to tell in particular in Westklinge, a charming fishing village with over 240 years of history. Karin Wohlat-Meyendorf and her husband Norbert have enriched the village as a new owner since 2016 by having built a house with guest rooms and a small holiday home. But the developments in the tourism industry bring both positive and negative surprises.

A formative event for the region was the tragic fire of a house on December 11, 2013, in which two seniors died. Such memories sharpen a view of the importance of security in the accommodation. Karin reports on the changes that travelers have carried out since Corona pandemic. Your expectations have increased, especially among guests from the new federal states. This change also affects pricing policy, which Karin sees very critically: "I find the increased prices for food and beach chairs to be outrageous," says her assessment.

tourism in the upswing

in the western clover and the neighboring locations in Easternklüne, tourism is becoming increasingly important. The idyllic location on the border between the Usedom angle and the hinterland of the imperial baths makes the region particularly attractive. Here you will not only find a variety of new, tasteful accommodations, but also breathtaking views over the Stettiner Haff and the Usedomer See. The scenic diversity with the 40 km long, fine sandy beaches is a real magnet for nature lovers.

While the landscape attracts, the rush of visitors also brings challenges. Karin has found that many guests bring their own provisions and that this often leads to a certain disorder in their accommodations. In order to counteract this problem, she has changed her accommodation concept: the rooms are now offered with breakfast, which creates a more appealing atmosphere.

challenges for landlords

Another challenge is the collection of fees, with Karin stimulating a review of the 20 euros per dog that is collected for her per stay. She also reports that small thefts, such as a sealing ring from the shower head. Such events cloud the image of the holiday location. But Karin is optimistic: "We have to adapt and consider how we can make it as pleasant as possible for the guests."

The attentive landlord also observes risky driving methods of tourists who not only seek their adrenaline boost in the good weather period, but can also lead to dangerous situations. It is such developments that make you constantly rethink your offers and not just rent it on a week - an appeal that she addresses to other landlords in the region.

Westklinge has a lot to offer and is becoming increasingly an insider tip for vacationers looking for peace and nature. Apart from the challenges of rental, the place also shows the beauty and diversity of the Usedom landscape. With its picturesque views and the charming accommodations, the region remains a beautiful retreat and a place where the holiday pleasure can develop.
