Tourism - The 9-year-old Greta is kindergarten director at the Baltic Sea
Greta is recognized by her orange-colored shirt, friendly smile, and the fact that she mainly speaks with a certain group of people - children. The twenty-five-year-old is the children's director at the Baltic Sea in Karlshagen on Usedom, and she advocates for the well-being of holiday children in Karlshagen.
Since 2013, Karlshagen has been the only place on the German Baltic Coast with a children's director. Greta is now the fifth person in office. "Often only the adult opinion is asked for, but it's also important what children think about certain things," she explained. That's why it's important not only to dance at children's discos but also to talk to holiday children and ask for their opinion on the holiday resort.
Together with the adult children's director Katrin Jaddatz, they regularly open events on stage or award prizes at award ceremonies. "The children's director is supposed to help us see Karlshagen through children's eyes and recognize and understand their wishes above all," Jaddatz explained.
According to the given information, there are 3,200 inhabitants in Karlshagen. Approximately 75,000 tourists are there annually. The Baltic Sea resort aims to present itself as particularly child- and family-friendly.
Greta's role as the children's director in Karlshagen significantly contributes to making it an attractive vacation spot for families. Her responsibilities extend to the 75,000 annual tourists, ensuring their children have enjoyable experiences by the Baltic Sea. Greta often encourages holiday children to express their opinions about the resort, which aligns with Karlshagen's goal of being child-friendly. Taking a break from their daily routines, families often visit Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with Usedom being a popular destination for its idyllic beaches and family-friendly attractions near the Baltic Sea.
