Minister of Health Rudolf Anschober spoke in view of the latest figures of a “worrying situation”, which one takes “very, very seriously”. Compared to other countries, Austria is still well positioned.
Incidentally, Peter Zellmann from the Institute for Leisure and Tourism Research does not believe that the Austrians are increasingly spending their holidays in their own country and thus making up for the minus from abroad. “The wish is the father of the thought,” says Zellmann.
Because many Austrians had already used up their vacation. Keyword childcare.
For Zellmann, it would be a success if one could come up with the previous year’s figures for the number of overnight stays by Austrians in the country.
Most would stay home anyway. It’s been like that forever. Because the real top travel destination of the Austrians is called “balcony”.
