Hamburg –Eleven per cent of German adults like to spend their leisure hours in the nude, the Institut für Demoskopie market research organization has discovered. They also prefer naturist holidays.
So, with a potential market of four million Germans, the success of Otto Böcher was guaranteed. He specializes in holidays of the nudist variety.
Oböna, Herr Böcher's agency, is currently undergoing a tidal wave of applications for holidays at his various European nudist resorts. The staff has been forced to work a shift system to cope with the enquiries.
Already about 150,000 Germans from 300 clubs spend their summer vacations at the handful of clubs available within West Germany. Böcher's camps –in France, Yugoslavia and Italy– contain luxuries like miniature golf courses and railways, sauna baths, volleyball courts and snack bars.
Now Böcher wants to break into the cruise field with his naked customers. He has chartered the 3,000-ton steamer Jugoslavija for 14-day Mediterranean trips beginning in the autumn.
He attributes his success partly to the fact that there are no lists of rules on behavior. “We expect our guests to behave responsibly,” he says.
