Reisen: „Wir wollen hier kein Sylt 2.0 schaffen“
Für Urlauber ist Carolinensiel häufig nur Durchgangsstation. Die Menschen dort haben eine Vision, um den Tourismus zukunftsfähig zu machen. Kann der Ort so zur Blaupause werden?
Carolinensiel, a small town in Ostfriesland, Germany, has been struggling to attract tourists. Many visitors who arrive from the ferry port of Harlesiel, which is more than 20 minutes' walk from the historic harbor of Carolinensiel, have Carolinensiel as their intended destination but find it difficult to reach. For those who do not arrive by car, the journey can be challenging.
From Norden, the last stop on the western route, there are only 54 bus stops along line K1. Most of these stops are bypassed without stopping by the driver. Most buses terminate in Bensersiel or Neuharlingersiel, places where buses continue to Langeoog and Spiekeroog. The towns themselves see little tourist traffic. To change this, the town of Carolinensiel is determined to transform its image.
The key players in this tourism transformation plan are Rolf Claussen, the mayor; the Nordfund group comprising the Onnen family; Alexis Angelis, an architect; and his partner Frank Reiners.
