guest Author 30 November 2023 12:40

The first ski openings are just around the corner: the ski season starts next weekend in many regions in Salzburg. Numerous day and holiday guests will therefore be on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) this weekend, and this is making the situation worse: since September, the ÖAMTC has repeatedly recorded traffic jams due to the tunnel renovation work on the A10 between Golling (Tennengau) and Werfen (Pongau). Traffic is being directed in one lane in two-way traffic for a length of around 14 kilometers. The Ofenauer and Hiefler tunnels and the Werfen tunnel chain consisting of the Brentenberg, Zetzenberg and Helbersberg tunnels are specifically affected. As has already been shown in recent weeks, the construction site is repeatedly testing drivers' patience. With the start of the ski season, delays should be planned for, especially on weekends, warn the ÖAMTC traffic experts. Even if traffic is flowing, a defective vehicle or an accident in heavy traffic can quickly lead to traffic jams stretching for kilometers. Adverse weather conditions can also cause disruptions.

Hoteliers Association welcomes world's first 100 percent SAF long-haul flight

guest Author 30 November 2023 12:36

Charles Lindbergh's historic transatlantic flight took him from New York to Paris in 1927. Significantly, the first Atlantic crossing by an aircraft fueled entirely with sustainable fuel now started in Europe and flew from Heathrow to New York, as reported by the British Air Ministry. This attracted worldwide attention. "Quite rightly," explains Markus Gratzer, General Secretary of the Austrian Hotel Association, "the journey there and back is the Achilles heel of sustainable tourism, causing up to 90% of the CO2 on vacation. If we get better at this, green travel will soon be a reality. We are now a giant step closer to that!" Hotels as pioneers in climate protection According to the Federal Environment Agency, energy consumption per overnight stay in hotels was reduced by 2008% between 2019 and 54, and the share of renewable energies increased from 36 to 54%. "And we are continuing down this path, the ÖHV supports the hotels with all its strength and comprehensive information in seminars, newsletters and a partner network that is up to date," says Gratzer, who sees the ÖHV and its 1.700 members as pioneers: "We are on it and we will stay on it: We are going full throttle to reduce energy consumption!" More movement on climate issues when arriving and departing "great" "Even though more and more business partners are demanding that ESG criteria be met: Most hoteliers are taking the sustainable path out of conviction - and much faster than others," reports Gratzer. "If it were up to us, sustainable flying and driving would have long been standard!" The aim is to make tourism more sustainable - also to get it out of the sometimes unjustified criticism: "Especially in the quality segment, many are doing what they can. If now

guest Author 30 November 2023 11:41

Statistics Austria published the October figures for overnight stays this week, and thus the preliminary result of the summer season is clear: Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner and Michael Duscher, Managing Director of Lower Austria Werbung, together with Lower Austria's hosts, are delighted with around 4,6 million overnight stays from May to October 2023. To be precise, 2.914.100 overnight stays came from domestic guests and 1.680.200 overnight stays from abroad. This represents a significant increase of 8,1% compared to the same period in 2022. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner: “With the record result in September, an excellent result for this year's summer season has already become apparent. October brought us 626.000 overnight stays, an increase of 3,3% compared to October 2022. This means that we have recorded a total of 4.594.300 overnight stays in the summer. A sincere thank you at this point to all hosts in Lower Austria who deliver top performance every day and ensure that guests enjoy coming to us in Lower Austria.” Despite inflation and a shortage of skilled workers in the industry, there is optimism about Lower Austria’s tourism future: “The good overnight stay figures for the summer season make us optimistic about the winter season. Especially now that the first ski lifts in Lower Austria will be open from next weekend,” continued Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner. Michael Duscher, Managing Director of Lower Austria Advertising, added: “Our goal is to develop Lower Austria from an excursion destination to a short break and main holiday destination. There is always a lot of new and interesting things to discover for our most important markets of origin such as Vienna, Linz, Slovakia or the Czech Republic. In tourism advertising, we rely on high-quality accommodation providers and excellent top restaurateurs such as

AK intervened: Technology company refused parents part-time work

guest Author 30 November 2023 11:39

A 38-year-old employee who works for a small company in the area of ​​aircraft maintenance had to assert his right to parental part-time work with the help of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Labor. His employer had previously refused this. According to the Chamber of Labor, however, this is clearly regulated legally. For a company with more than 20 employees and at least three years of service, a corresponding agreement is possible. "Ultimately, a good solution was found for the employee that also suits the company," said AK Lower Austria President and ÖGB Lower Austria Chairman Markus Wieser. Parental part-time work, yes, but a noticeable reduction in working hours is not possible. That was the somewhat contradictory attitude of a company in the aviation technology sector when one of its technicians applied for parental part-time work. He had already been with the company for more than 20 years at that point, and had also shared the parental leave for their small child with his wife. The company initially believed that a major reduction in working hours would disrupt operations and thus endanger flight safety. "With the help of our labor law experts, the person concerned was then able to show the company that the argument was incorrect," said Wieser. Processes are designed with documentation so that a technician colleague can continue where he left off. After the intervention of the AK Lower Austria, a compromise was reached before the scheduled court date: on average, the twelve hours of parental part-time work will remain, but these will be divided into different hours per week within a month. "Parental part-time work is intended to make it easier to combine work and family. It is therefore important to implement appropriate solutions here," said Wieser.
