Vacationers turn their backs on the Baltic Sea: North Sea on the upper!

Anklam, Deutschland - The Baltic Sea, once the popular holiday destination of the Germans, could now fall in favor of vacationers. Political tensions and the presence of the AfD in certain regions mean that many people consciously decide against trips to the Baltic Sea. Instead, they are increasingly drawn to the North Sea. More and more holidaymakers admit that they feel uncomfortable in areas where the AfD receives more than 30 percent of the vote. The feeling of uncertainty drives many of them to leave the most beautiful beaches of the Baltic Sea left.

conversations about the vacation: shocking experiences

It is bubbling on social networks! Travelers share their stories and experiences from East Germany, and the judgments are clear: a significant part of the holidaymakers avoided areas that are strongly shaped by the AfD. A woman who is married to a black man tells of the discrimination she experienced on the island of Rügen. Another traveler remembers the feeling of exclusion, which he felt in a village near Anklam, where he was first avoided because of his west car scene. "In the end we spoke to the locals and got to know their worries," he reports.

Influential voices from the tourism industry agree: the agitation and intolerance that rampart in certain areas sell the guests. Another woman who was traveling as the solo traveler speaks of her decision to avoid the Baltic Sea in the future: "The proportion of AfD voters is simply too high for me. There are also many people who think differently, but my personal decision is clear." Even men, like a passionate St. Pauli fan, admit that they felt uncomfortable and post their trips to the east of the Republic.

fear and boycott: vacationers draw consequences

This trend away from the Baltic Sea is alarming! According to statistics, the Baltic Sea was still the most popular holiday region in 2023, but the increase in AfD voters could change soon. Despite beautiful landscapes and attractive holiday locations, more and more people decide to boycott the Baltic Sea and instead prefer the North Sea. The incidents that gave the last kick -off included a shocking racist incident, in which swastikas and hate messages were directed against a young family, which also heated the mind. The question remains: How will tourism develop in the future, and why are so many willing to give up your vacation plans?
