The Tourism Report 2020 was presented on June 24, 2021, and figuratively speaking it was a year of disasters for companies, entrepreneurs and their employees in the entire tourism industry. According to the Statistics Office of Austria, in 2019 a record number of overnight stays were booked in the country - 150 million, in 2020 the number of guests halved and returned to a level not seen since the 1970s. As a result, there has been a dramatic drop in occupancy. The hospitality and catering industry employed only 180,000 people - 42,000 fewer than the previous year.
