Camping Boom in Austria: Fourth Consecutive Overnight Stay Record

"Camping in Austria is increasingly developing into a year-round holiday form with its excellent offerings in winter and wellness camping," stated Maximilian Möhrle, managing director of camping.info. With more than 189,000 overnight stays in March nationwide, twice as many as the previous year, the camping industry started the year 2024 "particularly successfully," according to the release. 2.4 million overnight stays in August were able to compensate for heavy rain and closures in September. More and more holidaymakers are also drawn to campsites in winter: In November and December, overnight stays increased by 15 to 17 percent compared to the previous year.
