#ndr #ndrdoku #schleswig-holstein From the other side of the world to Schleswig-Holstein? Although Schleswig-Holstein is a holiday region, almost all foreign guests come from Europe. Only one percent of holidaymakers have really traveled from further afield, from all over the world. This includes, for example, 62 people from Costa Rica who want to spend a week at the Wacken Open Air. They had never heard of Schleswig-Holstein before, but the fact that heavy metal sounds are played at the festival has made sense to them. When the guests from Central America arrived in Germany's northernmost state, they took a look behind the festival fence and discovered something astonishing: the eating habits, the apartments and the tolerance of their hosts. Three groups from China are also traveling the world to Schleswig-Holstein. They are to explore the small country in order to promote Schleswig-Holstein at home. Chinese people are sought-after tourists because they spend a lot of money at their holiday destination. However, luring them to a place is more difficult than you might think. This is because the guests are polite and often do not say what they really think. An unconventional interpreter, a student from Kiel, explains what makes her fellow countrymen tick. A man from Singapore is in Husum for the fifth time. At first he only came for a classical piano music festival. Because the concerts take place in the evening and he has time during the day, he looks at every corner of the country and is enthusiastic about unusual destinations. His conclusion: Schleswig-Holstein is one of Germany's best-kept secrets. A family from Bad Oldesloe invites travelers to work on their horse farm in exchange for room and board: work and travel. In this way, a young Mexican gets to know Schleswig-Holstein very personally: with riding lessons, carpentry and a huge surprise. His hosts help him to find local ancestors and even relatives. Four stories of amazing adventures that international travelers experience in a country that is exotic to them: Schleswig-Holstein.
