Now what would make more sense than to spend your holidays where the locals themselves feel snug as a bug in a rug? If you ask Austrians where the best place is to spend holidays in their country, be sure that the majority of them will end up saying: ‘Styria’. The tip is well founded: after all, Styrians have a reputation for being excellent hosts and offering ‘great value for money’, for being ‘child-friendly’, ‘tremendous in terms of offering great food’ and ‘authentic’. The main reasons cited for spending a holiday over here are ‘wellness & pleasure’, ‘active enjoyment of nature’ and the events we have on offer.
