Tourism in Austria is a unique success story. For decades, politics, business and culture have worked together in making sure that guests from all over the world feel at home here. Hospitality and innovative thinking make Austria a role model for tourism worldwide.

It’s safe to say that Austria’s natural landscape and green mentality underpins holidays in Austria. Here, coexistence with nature is a way of life, visible throughout all sectors and localities. For tourists, it’s an added value to know that holiday memories needn’t to leave an environmental mark. Even a city stay turns into a moment surrounded by nature when taking a break in one of the many parks that characterise cities such as Salzburg, Graz and Vienna. Without even realising, many guests stay in accommodation built in accordance with ecological construction and passive house building standards.

Austria’s aim is to be climate neutral by 2040 – ten years ahead of the European Union’s goal. This dedication to expanding its leading eco-friendly credentials is evident in the country’s tourism industry, in which sustainability is a central pillar.

At a first glance, tourism projects and ecological concerns often seem to be opposed to each other. Austrian firms, however, have been committed to sustainability for many years and use their expertise to devise practical solutions which ensure that nature and the environment are not only kept in good condition, but are also shown to represent a sustainable value and are marketed as such. Collaborating with Austrian companies means results-driven cooperation in terms of the planning, development, implementation and ongoing monitoring of projects.

With their extensive experience, Austrian companies know exactly what problems are likely to arise in practice and help avoid expensive mistakes being made in the planning and implementation of environmentally friendly infrastructure projects. Companies, cities, and municipalities on all five continents are benefitting from the know-how of Austria’s tourism experts. They are specialists in:

Destination development and tourist infrastructure (mountains, rivers and lakes, cities and culture, health, spa and medical wellness, nature)

Innovation and business development (hotels and resorts, gastronomy, restaurants, culinary clusters)

Congress and business travel (MICE – meetings, incentives, congresses, and events)

Culture (festivals, historic buildings, castles and palaces, monasteries, museums, gardens, intangible culture heritage)

Tourism education and training (coaching and training, train-the-trainer, curriculum development, development of and cooperation with schools and universities)
