In addition to a “pub package” that is intended to support village pubs in particular, the People’s Party wants to simplify the procedures for obtaining the Red-White-Red Card, especially for workers from Western Balkan states. State Secretary for Tourism Susanne Kraus-Winkler (ÖVP) announced this at a press conference on Monday.
“The inns are the soul of the communities,” said the Secretary General of the Economic Association, Kurt Egger (ÖVP), explaining the demands for the catering establishments. He called for the abolition of the obligation to issue receipts for bills under 30 euros and a “simplification of individual bureaucratic hurdles”. Furthermore, the problem of finding successors for the inns should be addressed by relaxing the requirements.

Egger also reiterated the tax exemption for overtime demanded by the ÖVP, which is also important in tourism. “Working in old age” after reaching the standard retirement age should also be made easier. “All those who want to work more or work longer have one thing in common: they do so when it pays off financially,” said the Economic Association’s Secretary General.
