recorded in the first month of the current summer season 2009, the Austrian tourism with 6.27 million overnight stays a decline of 11.8 percent. "Accounted for 41.6 percent of overnight stays on our domestic visitors. The moderate decline of 1.9 percentage points to the remains of a special guest loyalty especially in a tough economic time," said Hans Schenner, chairman of the Federal Tourism and Leisure Industry (Chamber) that today, Tuesday, presented by Statistics Austria numbers. At the same time was the decline in foreign tourists arrivals (minus 17.7 percent) and especially by the German guests (minus 22 Per cent) no cause for joy.
"However, we can not compare apples to oranges," says Schenner. "The weather is not currently using, and in May 2008 we had because of the holidays a millennium-May with 7.1 million overnight stays. They beat the difficult in times of economic crisis is, is clear. Comparable May for this year's May on weather and Holidays in 2006. At that time we had 5.8 million overnight stays. And we are still to May 2007 with 6.1 million overnight stays. So we are moving despite a weak start to the summer remains high. I therefore think it is problematic when is now communicated that the market collapses, if this undifferentiated figures are compared, "said Schenner
Austria The advertising and the states jointly invest over 100 million € per year in the tourism advertising Schenner concluded:.." On the advertising that is not, there is much done! But the weather can not buy, that's just like that! "
