Statistics Austria's accommodation statistics show international guest nights rose 2.9% to 15.1 million in the reporting period discussed, with Germany, Switzerland/Liechtenstein and the Netherlands remaining the largest source markets, and the United States recording above-average growth (+8.4%). Domestic demand stayed broadly stable. Industry commentary alongside the data flags persistent labour shortages as a constraint on further capacity growth. Why it matters: this is useful benchmark data for other Alpine and year-round destinations tracking how international demand recovery compares with domestic tourism trends.
