Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Banks on Heat Wave to Rescue Struggling Summer Tourism

Coastal operators hope to offset steep mid-summer losses by boosting late-season bookings after forecasts of sun with highs over 30 °C.

Overview

  • The German Weather Service forecasts several days of sunny weather with temperatures surpassing 30 °C across the region.
  • Mayk Borchardt in Zinnowitz and Torsten Binz in Baabe report fully booked Strandkörbe and packed beaches since the heat returned.
  • Martin Grimmer in Sellin describes this as the weakest season in five to six years despite recent warm weather.
  • Alexander Fritz says his rental business has secured only about 55 percent of normal annual revenue after four months, leaving a significant gap to close.
  • Camping operators and open-air theaters note rising spontaneous visits with local school holidays under way, making the next two to three weeks critical for recovery.
