With the main tourist season fast approaching on the Baltic island of Usedom, Rolf Seelige-Steinhoff is itching to reopen his hotels after almost seven weeks of lockdown wiped out more than a quarter of the sales he was expecting this year.
“It almost feels like wartime for us, because our work collapsed under our feet from one day to the next,” said Seelige-Steinhoff, the head of Seetel, a 40-million-euro ($43 million) a year hotel group which is the largest on Usedom.
