Hotels: travelers don’t save season
business
According to estimates by the Chamber of Commerce, a maximum of 80 of the 1,400 and other accommodations in Salzburg are open to business travelers. They are not allowed to accommodate other guests in lockdown. The utilization thus corresponds to a rapid total failure.
Most hotels and accommodations are completely locked, and unlocking is currently not profitable. A Salzburg hotelier who is at least open to business travelers is Georg Imlauer. It employs 400 people in Vienna, Salzburg and Styria. In his smaller houses in Vienna and in the city of Salzburg he experienced people.
Restart immediately after lockdown
“From a business point of view, this is of course pointless. It is actually occupational therapy for our employees. However, it has the advantage that these houses are not shut down completely. When they can be raised again immediately, ”says Imlauer.
Five to ten rooms occupied
The occupancy rate is currently between five and ten percent. That corresponds to five to ten rooms per hotel in Imlauers Herbst. “We assume that we will be able to unlock again on December 13th. We have to, because otherwise the winter season will hang by a thread ”, says the Salzburg hotelier.
