"Across all federal states, bookings are generally good this Easter holiday. This confirms once again that our guests appreciate Austria's wide range of tourist offerings, from winter sports and wellness to art and culture and culinary delights - the mix of many holiday and leisure activities means that in these times of overlapping seasons, there is a suitable travel motive for everyone," says Tourism State Secretary Susanne Kraus-Winkler. A look at the mountain regions or at the city and country shows that bookings vary relatively widely from region to region. In the federal capital Vienna, bookings are good and at a stable level - the conference business has also started well. Burgenland, Styria, Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Carinthia, Tyrol and Vorarlberg are generally well booked at Easter. In general, it can be observed that the snow and slope conditions in higher ski areas are very good and these therefore have a very good booking situation - here, too, there is hope for further short-term bookings. The lower-lying ski areas tend to have less snow, although the slope conditions are still good in some areas. Here and there, however, guest bookings are still cautious - partly due to the mild weather - but skiers are currently often moving to higher-lying ski areas to be on the safe side. "Climate change will pose challenges in the medium to long term, especially in some lower-lying ski regions, when it comes to periods outside of the core winter seasons. In some regions, a 'hybrid' offer or flexibility is already being used: an offer that works not only on snow, but also on the 'green slopes'.
