Tirol Touristica 2023 goes to Iseltrail, young talent award to Anna Servis

guest Author July 7, 2023 10:02

As part of the 45th Tyrolean Tourism Forum, the Tirol Touristica Award was once again presented for a tourism project that corresponds in a special way to the “Tiroler Weg” tourism strategy. The prize went to a model example of gentle tourism: the Iseltrail, which was launched by the TVB Osttirol. The young talent award went to Anna Servis, founder and owner of the “milsano” restaurant in Mils. “50 Shades of Green – How sustainable business is shaping alpine tourism” was the motto of this year’s tourism forum, which took place today in the Congresspark Igls and provided the setting for the Tirol Touristica award. The topic of sustainability not only shaped the event, but is also the main criterion for the Tirol Touristica tourism award. Almost 30 submissions show that the topic of sustainability has long since arrived in Tyrolean tourism. Ten of them were shortlisted for the award: "The high quality of the nominated projects is for me a clear sign that ecological, economic and social sustainability has long been an integral part of Tyrolean tourism. Together with our tourism associations and companies, we are consistently continuing the successful path to even greater quality," emphasises Mario Gerber, Minister of Tourism. Refreshing winning project With the Iseltrail, the award this year went to a "showpiece example of gentle tourism", as the expert jury put it. The approximately 80-kilometre-long long-distance hiking trail, which was launched by the East Tyrol Tourism Association, leads over five stages from the mouth of the Isel into the Drau in Lienz up to the glacier gate of the Umbalkees at 2.500 metres. On the way there, locals and

Analysis: Cheaper vacations in lesser known places

guest Author July 7, 2023 08:34

According to Skyscanner's latest study in partnership with OnePoll, 94 percent of Germans are open to traveling to underrated or lesser-known destinations, with more than half (58 percent) saying they would be willing to swap their favorite vacation destinations for an alternative option if it meant they could save money. The desire for new and unknown destinations also seems to be on the rise. In 2022, only 54 percent of German travelers surveyed said they wanted to explore new places rather than return to a long-time favorite destination. This is reflected in a rise in searches for underrated destinations this year on Skyscanner, including Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) up 233 percent and Rijeka (Croatia) up 87 percent. Since almost half of German travelers (46 percent) have not yet booked their summer vacation this year according to the Skyscanner study and 38 percent of respondents say that they have not yet decided on a summer vacation destination, Skyscanner's new "Destination Finder" is helping. In the mobile Instagram app, travelers start the conversation with a simple message, for example "Hello", then answer a series of questions and then receive suggestions for suitable, lesser-known alternatives to the usual vacation hotspots. Escape the tourist crowds and save money this summer with new vacation destinations For the 56 percent of German travelers who prefer a new vacation country to the tried and tested classic travel destinations (37 percent), an alternative must not only be a place where they can escape the tourist crowds, but also cheaper than a

On Sunday, June 25, 2023, the time had come: The state of Tyrol invited everyone to the Tyrolean family festival in the Alpbachtaler Lauserland on the Wiedersberger Horn.

Beaming children and happy parents spent a lively day full of fun, entertainment and sunshine on the Wiedersberger Horn in Alpbach. In the "Alpbachtaler Lauserland" the children could really let off steam to their heart's content. From the giant bouncy cushion to the low ropes course, to the Lauser ball run and the balancing pond - there was plenty of fun and action at the almost 40 play stations. Airbrush tattoos, modeled balloons and much more were also waiting for the little visitors. The colorful children's program was rounded off by grilling sausages together at the open fireplace right next to the "Lauser stage". After the start of the family festival at 11:00 a.m., Governor Anton Mattle and State Councilor Astrid Mair welcomed guests.

Schellhorn and Reisenzahn start tourism consulting

guest Author July 7, 2023 07:05

Two experienced, thoroughbred tourism professionals, Thomas Reisenzahn and Sepp Schellhorn, will be working together in the future in gastro consulting. The focus of their cooperation is on advice and assistance in the area of ​​hotel catering, restaurants and system mountain catering. The well-known Salzburg entrepreneur and restaurateur Sepp Schellhorn has already supported projects relating to gastronomy and the hotel industry with the consulting company "Schellhorn Consultants", which he founded with Johannes Vetter. Now Schellhorn Consultants and Thomas Reisenzahn, managing director of the Prodinger tourism consulting company, are combining their expertise to create a comprehensive offer that is specifically aimed at current challenges facing hospitality and gastronomy. The aim, said Reisenzahn when announcing the cooperation plan, is to recognize new "food trends" in good time and to adapt alpine gastronomy to the changing conditions. It can currently be observed that younger hotel guests in particular are increasingly turning away from traditional half-board. The trend is moving strongly towards "flexibility, but with a system". Guests are looking for individuality and not predetermined, fixed, outdated service rituals. The wishes and values ​​of international guests and people who live in urban areas are moving towards "small, local, authentic, vegan and sharing" and certainly not towards a predetermined "half board with 4 courses". "Snacking" is becoming increasingly popular. Snacks used to be an emergency solution when guests wanted to eat outside of kitchen hours, but today they have become an absolute trend. It's about mini meals that are high quality, fresh and healthy. According to Reisenzahn, this new food trend also offers maximum flexibility. As Schellhorn points out, it is generally necessary to redefine the systems in the catering industry. Because on the one hand
