Well-booked Tourism Holidays in Lower Saxony's Vacation Regions
Holidaymakers are flocking to destinations across Lower Saxony for their short summer getaways. Despite the possibility of rain in parts of the region, many vacationers remain undeterred. Ascension and Pentecost holidays have become popular choices for local tourism, even following the late Easter holiday season.
A survey conducted by the German Press Agency among tourism agencies shows that demand for trips to the North Sea Coast and Islands, Harz, and Lüneburg Heath is high.
North Sea Coast and Islands
East Frisia, a region along the North Sea Coast, experiences a surge in visitors during the weekend holidays surrounding Ascension and Pentecost. Wiebke Leverenz, a spokesperson for the East Frisia Tourism GmbH in Leer, states that many tourists are drawn to the coast for a short respite. Accommodations in East Frisian holiday spots are expected to be occupied between 70 and 90 percent during these holidays, with some even surpassing the 90 percent mark.
The East Frisian Islands are expected to be fully booked for the holidays. In response to the high demand, Norden-Frisia shipping company plans additional ferry departures to Juist and Norderney. A spokesperson for the shipping company notes that the scheduled 13 departures for Norderney on Ascension Day will likely be met by a full ferry, and today's 19 departures may also fill up.
Harz
Lower Saxony's hill country, the Harz region, is experiencing a similar booking situation for the Pentecost holidays. The tourism association reports that accommodations are already well-booked for the holidays. Positive signals are also being received from campsites and resorts, indicating an increase in tourist visits compared to last year.
Weather forecasts, which predict sunny and dry conditions, are raising optimism among hosts and businesses in the region. They hope that the forecast will not only attract vacationers but also day-trippers, an essential segment for the area.
Lüneburg Heath
"Ascension is almost fully booked, with only a few spots remaining," says Ulrich von dem Bruch, managing director of the Lüneburg Heath GmbH. Pentecost, however, is still offering some vacancies, though these are expected to fill up quickly. The region, known for its hiking trails and quaint villages, is expected to welcome many hikers seeking a break during the holidays.
With an increase in tourism expected for the North Sea Coast, Harz, and Lüneburg Heath, these areas are likely to experience economic benefits, such as higher demand for accommodations, food, and activities. Efficient management and planning will be crucial to ensure a positive experience for tourists visiting the regions during Ascension and Pentecost holidays.
