Sustainability in Austria - Best Practices in Tourism

It is internationally known that Austria captivates with its fascinating landscapes and rich cultural offerings. The innovative spirit of the domestic tourism industry in terms of sustainability is just as exceptional. Some of these projects are featured in this publication. It should be mentioned that this publication cannot present all of Austria’s noteworthy projects, as there is simply not enough space to fit them all. Nevertheless, the selection provides a good overview of innovations and pioneering projects and acts as a multiplier, providing inspiration and motivation for industry participants to implement further projects.

The publication sheds light on initiatives by various actors that are pioneering in their efforts towards sustainability. Fifty best practices from across Austria demonstrate how sustainable tourism can be achieved in the five categories of winter, summer, mobility, circular economy, and social issues. The goal is always to equally consider and harmonize environmental protection, socio-cultural well-being, and economic sustainability.
