The "More safety in the holiday country" seal was therefore developed. The spa administration of the Baltic Sea resort of Boltenhagen has now received this seal. The seal is a joint initiative of the MV Tourism Association and the German Hotel and Restaurant Association, which accommodation and catering companies, leisure and tourist facilities can join. It shows the obligation to comply with all applicable protection standards in the company, to comply with current legal regulations and to have a pandemic and infection emergency plan. The companies voluntarily undertake to ensure that employees and guests wear mouth and nose protection in the public areas of the facilities. This also includes particularly frequent cleaning of critical contact points. October 20, 2020 Greifswald Higher Administrative Court overturns accommodation restrictions in MV The Higher Administrative Court in Greifswald granted the urgent applications of two hotel companies.

After a 17% increase in bookings was recorded up to March, the 5 km long beach was full with good opportunities to comply with the hygiene regulations. Compliance with the Corona measures is difficult for the catering industry. Reservations do not show up or do not want to leave their contact details. In addition to the restrictive requirements, this makes business more difficult. 09/06/2020Warnemünder Hotel Neptun reintroduced traditional Sunday brunch for local guests Guests and staff wear face masks in all public areas of the renowned hotel, spa visits and the Sky Bar are currently only available to hotel guests. Since the beginning of September, locals and other non-hotel guests have been able to enjoy the popular Sunday brunch again. Since the reopening, occupancy has been below the previous year, as the event and conference segment, bookings through traditional tour operators and bus tour companies are declining, the hotel's PR manager told the Ostseezeitung.The workforce was able to be maintained at full number and even expanded. Previously, 312 people worked for the 5-star hotel, but now there are 314 people. 08/30/2020 Tourism in MV collapsed by 42% compared to the previous year The MV Statistical Office has now published figures for the first half of 2020.

Due to the high number of applicants, the amount of support was increased to €16,500. May 21, 2020 Online spa offerings are booming As "The New York Times" reported, spa offerings are also becoming virtual. The Aspen Shakti Yoga Studio in Colorado is offering free yoga and meditation courses during the Corona crisis. There is something similar in Germany to keep fitness enthusiasts in shape. YogaEasy is offering a 7-day free trial period during Corona times, YouTube has many suggestions, as does Yogaplus, and other providers in Germany are securing their survival by offering online classes for a fee. These often take place as part of a live session in which trainers can also intervene virtually to make corrections. Some of the online yoga courses in Germany are even certified by health insurance companies. Therapies with shamanic energy healing, remote Reiki or meditation are also available online in the USA with a private teacher.

Saunas and the regular wellness area are still closed. A good marketing idea: 5+1 vouchers! This binds customers, five real visits have to take place for a "free" treat, the rush of visitors is spread out over time and everyone is still happy. There is also a natural limitation. 05/19/2020Petition to reopen leisure facilitiesDr. Klaus Batz, Managing Director of the European Waterpark Association eV, initiated a petition to the German Bundestag and the German Federal Government to reopen leisure pools, thermal baths and spas by May 29, 2020.
