Vienna , 26 July, 2017 (APA/OTS) - New all-time high for Vienna:
The Austrian capital recorded almost 7 million visitor bednights
between January and June 2017 - 4.2% more than for the same period
the previous year.
"City breaks to Vienna continue to boom: The city established a
new record in the first half of 2017, with visitor bednights
increasing 4.2% to around 6,924,000," according to Norbert Kettner,
Director of the Vienna Tourist Board.
Vienna's highest-volume source markets in the first half of
2017 were Germany with 1,420,000 bednights (+3% on the same period
the previous year), followed by Austria (1,360,000, -1%), the USA
(396,000, +8%), the United Kingdom (305,000, +3%), and Italy
(294,000, -7%). These were followed in places 6 to 10 by
Switzerland (214,000, +/-0%), Russia (211,000, +34%), France
(204,000, +18%), China (175,000, +45%) and Spain (174,000, -2%).
Particularly high growth rates were also recorded for Australia
(67,000 bednights, +19%), India (64,000, +15%) and Brazil (63,000,
+21%).
Vienna currently has 64,000 hotel beds. The average occupancy
rate of Vienna's rooms from January to June 2017 was 69%, with over
80% of all bednights attributable to international guests. Now
Vienna's objective is to increase overnight stays to 18 million by
the year 2020. The meetings industry also has an important role to
play, accounting for 12% of the total volume of bednights in 2016.
Some 4,000 congresses, corporate events and incentives were held in
Vienna last year - again a new record. For the eighth time in a
row, the latest Mercer "Quality of Living" survey ranked Vienna in
