At Easter, most citizens of Austria prefer to stay at home. According to a recent survey by the Austrian Hotel Association (ÖHV), 56 percent do not want to travel, 25 percent have planned a vacation, and 19 percent are still unsure. "The willingness to travel remains stable," said the president of the ÖHV, Walter Veit, in a press release on Tuesday. When traveling, Austria is preferably chosen as the holiday destination.
Easter Vacation Preferably in Styria
"Styria is the Easter classic," explained Veit. Upper Austria scores with nature, lakes, and traditional customs around Easter, Vienna impresses with Easter markets, culture, and urban flair. Salzburg combines nature, tradition, and culture.
The vacationers keep an eye on the costs. According to the survey, two-thirds plan to spend less than 1,000 euros - nearly 30 percent of them under 500 euros. Only 16 percent have a budget between 1,000 and 1,499 euros for the Easter vacation, and only a small group plans to spend more. "The break is important, but it is carefully calculated," emphasized the ÖHV chief.
