Austria is performing well in its vaccination programme when compared to other European states.
According to the Statista website https://www.statista.com/statistics/1196071/covid-19-vaccination-rate-in-europe-by-country/ , Austria is in 9th place in Europe with 19.5 percent of its population having been given at least one dose, just behind Denmark which is at 20 percent.
One reason is probably that it has not stopped using the AstraZeneca vaccine for certain age groups.
Last week Chancellor Sebastian Kurz promised every adult in Austria who wants to be vaccinated against the coronavirus will be given the opportunity in the next 100 days.
Kurz also said sport, restaurants and hotels will be able to open again in May, after over 65s are vaccinated.
In May all over 50-year-olds should be jabbed, and in June vaccination is to be opened to all age groups. (source: thelocal.at).
Welcome news for the tourism industry and the forthcoming Summer season.
Our operator all-suite.com is expecting a very busy July, August and September.
June could also start to get busy and in October they are expecting good business from the hiking tourists in Oetz and Fieberbrunn where the lifts run from 13 May to 26 October.
More and more tourists now prefer to stay in a well-spaced, self-contained apartment where they have the flexibility to cook instead of the old-fashioned 3 and 4-star family-run hotels which run the standard half-board service model in a riskier environment with more communal areas.
At Kristall Spaces, we are arranging meetings next week with property buyers from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK who are travelling for business purposes right now to invest in a property that supports tourism.
Please contact us today to arrange your property viewing in person or remotely via video.
