Vienna is practically fully booked
Vienna (OTS/BMAW) – “At the turn of the year, Austria is very successfully offering a diverse range of experiences on New Year’s Eve itself and also around New Year’s Eve in both city and holiday destinations. An offer that is now one of the success factors of the New Year’s holiday for our domestic and foreign guests every year. The celebrations with culinary highlights and lots of entertainment at the turn of the year are not only one of the tourist highlights of the year, but also an important economic factor for tourism in general at the end of the year. This is particularly true for the city hotel industry, as Vienna is practically fully booked,” said Tourism State Secretary Susanne Kraus-Winkler.
If you compare the different regions, the following picture emerges: Cities have the highest occupancy at New Year’s, which then declines once more – in Vienna the ball season continues successfully here. In the lake regions, occupancy tends to be somewhat lower and declines relatively quickly following the New Year. In the mountain regions, the high holiday occupancy rate usually remains at the same high level until January 6th. Guests use the time here for winter sports, although the holidays around Christmas and New Year’s Eve are mostly characterized by family vacations. In addition to winter sports, culinary delights, relaxation and family time have become just as important. The pure winter sports holiday season then follows from mid-January until usually before Easter.
“New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are among the days with the highest sales in the tourism industry, from which hotels, restaurants and the event industry benefit greatly. Tourism in Vienna generated around 50 million euros on these two days. Tourism is starting the new year with hope and positivity,” said Kraus-Winkler.
