Vienna, 19 April, 2017 (APA/OTS) - The Vienna Tourist Board carried
out its most extensive survey to date of attitudes to tourism among
Vienna's residents - with highly satisfactory results.
The representative survey of more than 2,000 Viennese was
carried out in 2016 in months with both a weaker and a stronger
influx of visitors. It shows that the positive attitude of the
Viennese to tourism has not changed significantly compared to
previous studies, although the number of bednights has been rising
continuously.
90% of Viennese believe that the city, its residents, and its
businesses all benefit from tourism. 88% of respondents single out
trade fairs and congresses as a critical success factor in tourism.
82% answer the question of whether their everyday lives are
disrupted by tourists with no. The vast majority of respondents
(89%) confirm that tourism is an important economic factor for
Vienna. The Viennese do not currently regard renting out private
apartments to visitors as a serious problem: 59% of respondents say
they are not bothered if private apartments in the vicinity of
their homes are rented out, though this does represent a problem
for 15%. "The information campaign by the City of Vienna on the
rights and duties of accommodation providers and the legal
obligation of landlords and web platforms to register addresses and
contact details came at a provident time," says Vienna's Director
of Tourism Norbert Kettner.
RESEARCH-BASED OUTCOME
The Vienna Tourist Board continuously monitors attitudes to
tourism in order to be able to react rapidly to developments. It is
currently also financing a PhD degree course on tourism
sustainability in cities. "The results will enable Vienna and other
European metropolises to develop innovative strategies," Kettner
explains.
