Government of MV is planning a radical restructuring of the tourism association!

A turnaround in tourism in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is imminent: the new MV-Tourismus GmbH is to be founded on October 1st to replace the traditional state tourism association (TMV). This decision has already sparked debate, particularly among TMV members who are concerned about the impending dissolution of the long-standing umbrella organization for regional tourism. Northern Courier reports that Birgit Hesse, President of TMV, is already preparing to transfer business operations to the new company.

The background to the restructuring is the public prosecutor's investigation into suspicious funding practices at TMV, which led to the decision to resign by Tobias Woitendorf, the former managing director. Daniel Peters, the parliamentary group leader of the CDU, expresses concerns about the unclear future of tourism in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and criticizes the decision to fill a managing director position for the new GmbH with a person from the State Chancellery. Peter Kranz, the former head of state marketing, has already been introduced as the new managing director of the GmbH, which is currently being founded. This unusual situation is causing uncertainty in the industry.

Tasks and goals of the new structure

What will actually change with the founding of MV-Tourismus GmbH? Like the TMV, the new association will continue to be responsible for promoting and maintaining tourism and the tourist infrastructure in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The TMV was not only responsible for tourism communication, but was also responsible for the development of offers and political advice - tasks that were also entrusted to the new company. According to the information on the TMV website, their previous business operations have been financed exclusively through membership fees, grants and income. It remains to be seen how this changed structure will affect the financial resources and how the general meeting will decide on the dissolution of the TMV.

Particular attention is also paid to the planned goals of the new GmbH. Tourism in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is viewed as the basis for economic development and an important location factor. Tourism statistics MV emphasizes that aspects such as sustainability and the involvement of locals in tourism development should also be given greater focus in the future. These perspectives should be woven into the overall tourism strategy to ensure sustainable growth of the entire sector.

The future of tourism in MV

An important aspect to monitor is the development of demand and the economic situation of tourism companies in the country. The TMV has always aimed to promote a constructive tourism policy and ensure representation of the interests of the industry. In any case, tourism in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is known for its diverse offerings, ranging from coastal excursions to attractive cultural experiences. It remains exciting to see how the newly founded GmbH can further develop and preserve these aspects.

Preparations are currently in full swing, even though the founding is only a few days away from registration in the commercial register. The uncertainty about the structure and responsibilities could also lead to some members of the TMV remaining skeptical about the future development of tourism in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
