AUSTRIA TOURISM PLAYS A VERY IMPORTANT PART.THE REASON IS BELOW:
Tourism is an important part of Austria's economy:] Austria has one guest bed for every six inhabitants, and boasts the highest per capita income from tourism in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.[2] As of 2007, the total number of tourist overnight stays is roughly the same for summer and winter season, with peaks in February and July/August.[1]
In 2007, Austria ranked 9th worldwide in international tourism receipts, with 18.9 billion US$.[3] In international tourist arrivals, Austria ranked 12th with 20.8 million tourists.[3]
Vienna attracts a major part of tourists, both in summer and winter.[1] Salzburg receives about a fifth of tourist overnight stays compared to Vienna, which ranks it 2nd in the summer season.[1] In the winter season, a number of winter sport resorts in western Austria overtake Salzburg in the number of tourist overnight stays: Sölden, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Ischgl, Sankt Anton am Arlberg, and Obertauern.[1]
The Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, known to the locals as Schloss
Mirabell, is a beautiful early 16th century structure built by
Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich for his mistress. Considerable
renovations in the 17th century mean that the palace now boasts a
baroque interior with countless embellishments. The interior is laden
with marble, stuccoes and enormous frescoes on the walls. The Marble
Hall is noteworthy for being among the most picturesque wedding spots in
the city. Outside, the gardens are every bit as impressive, and the
sculpture collection is world-class.
Arguably one of the most popular Alpine destinations in the country
is Zell am See. Zeller See, the lake around which the city city exists,
is blue, clear and the picture-perfect example of an Alpine lake. The
snow-capped Hohe Tauern mountains peek out in the background, and
outdoor recreation like skiing, fishing and cycling are all readily
available. Landmarks like the 16th century Castle Rosenberg are the
historical cherry on the sundae for this breathtaking destination.

The Vienna Hofburg: Austria's Imperial Palace
The spectacular Hofburg Palace in Vienna was for centuries the seat
of Austria's monarchy, the powerful Habsburgs. Now the President
conducts state business in the same rooms that once belonged to Emperor
Joseph II. Nearly every Austrian ruler since 1275 ordered additions or
alterations, resulting in many different architectural influences,
including Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Classicism. Together
with its squares and gardens, the entire Hofburg complex occupies 59
acres encompassing 19 courtyards and 2,600 rooms. Highlights of a visit
include the Imperial Silver Collection and an array of dining services giving a taste of the lavish imperial banquets that once took place here; the Sisi Museum, focusing on the life and times of Empress Elisabeth; and the Imperi
