Hüde fights for the title: resort for better business!

Hüde, Deutschland - Hüde, a picturesque place on the Dümmer, fights for the return to the title "State -recognized recreational location". After almost 13 years without this status, which the municipality had volunteered in 2011, there are now efforts to regain this prestigious title. But the hurdles are high! A crucial problem: there is a lack of a certified tourism information on site, which, according to the requirements of the Lemförde community, is an exclusion criterion for state recognition.

council member Jürgen Hage is outraged by this bureaucratic hurdle. "I can't accept it that way," he said. Hüde is part of the Tourist Information Dümmerland, which is located in Lembruch, but that's not enough. The council women Angelika Lüters-Wöbker and Heike Hannker propose to set up a branch in the local indoor pool. Hage also brings examples of other places into play that have met the requirements with minimal opening times. The awarding of the title is the responsibility of the Office for Regional Development in Hildesheim.

economic considerations and challenges

Why is this title so important for Hüde? It's about the economy! Businesses are allowed to open on Sundays in relaxation locations, which increases the attractiveness of the place and attracts more tourists. Hage warns: "If Hüde could not offer Sunday, the business is going somewhere else." The competition from Lembruch could be a serious threat if this neighboring town receives its title.

But the return to the status has its price. In addition to the missing tourist information, expert opinions on air quality and hygiene situation must also be created, which could cost Hüde in the five-digit euro range. Annual costs are added, while the benefits are hardly measurable in the form of open shops on Sundays and public holidays as well as a positive image. So the decision is still pending: is it worth the effort for the coveted title?
