Austria sees record overnight tourist stays in June

VIENNA, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Austria registered a record 13.38 million overnight stays of guests from home and abroad in June, up by 13.9 percent from a year earlier, as holiday-heavy timing spurred travel, Statistics Austria reported.

"This makes June 2025 the month with the highest number of overnight stays since records began in 1972," he said, attributing the tourism boom to two public holidays which occurred in June.

Of the total overnight stays, 9.35 million were by non-resident guests, mostly from Germany, marking an 18 percent increase compared to June 2024. At the same time, nights spent by domestic guests rose by 5.2 percent to 4.03 million.

During the first half of this year, the country recorded 76.11 million overnight stays, edging up 0.4 percent from the previous year, official data showed.
