German Travel Agency Nixes Nudists Plans
May 30th, 2008 | By admin | Category: TravelGerman nudists seeking to take the experience to the skies had some cold water thrown on their vacation plans last week after their chartered flight to the Baltic Sea island of Usedom was cancelled.
Citing “moral objections” from the media and some negative comments from customers on the company’s Web site, online travel agency OssiUrlaub.de terminated what was to be the first of many nudist packages to the island retreat despite being fully booked for the inaugural disrobing.
The agency aimed the packages at Germans “nostalgic for the naturism that was authorized and extremely popular under communist rule,” according to the news Web site, Deutsche Welle.
“In the former East Germany, naturist holidays were a much-loved way of spending the best weeks of the year,” the founder of OssiUrlaub.de told dw-world.de. “We want to make that freedom possible above the clouds, too.”
