Tourism

Statistics Austria has collected data about tourism for some 130 years – the first statistical records relating to tourism at spa resorts date from 1875. A national tourism survey (excluding spa tourism) was carried out in 1890 for the first time.

The tourism and travel data compiled by Statistics Austria comprises four core areas as follows:

  1. Accommodation (annual stock statistics; monthly statistics on arrivals and overnight stays)
  2. Travel habits (holiday and business trips by Austrian citizens)
  3. Travel balance of payments (expenditure on domestic and outbound tourism, balance)
  4. Satellite systems (tourism satellite accounts (TSA) for Austria and selected federal provinces; TSA employment module)
