Sustainability in Austria

Introduction
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 second edition of the publication brings together 48 best practices, focusing on challenges and successes. Find all the details here.

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.
Austria's commitment to sustainable tourism is an encouraging example that change is possible. May this publication serve as a source of inspiration, viewing the path towards sustainable tourism as an opportunity and motivating to continue shaping the future positively!
I am sure that these success stories will give the industry new impetus and inspire its sustainability initiatives. Let us join forces to ensure that Austria remains one of the most sustainable tourism destinations in the world.
