Abstract

As in many other European cities tourism in Vienna is booming. The greater area of Vienna counted 15,138,670 bed nights in 2015, which means a growth by 5.3% in comparison to 2014.124
Moreover, the Vienna Tourist Board (VTB) has announced that the city of Vienna generated 6.6 million bed nights in in the first half year of 2016 which represents an increase of 4.9% in comparison to January until June 2015. In addition, the Viennese hotels generated 3.4% more room revenue in the first half year of 2016, as in the comparable period of 2015.125
Overall, the European city destinations and their surroundings as well as the local infrastructure and population benefit from this current development (Zanad 2015). However, some drawbacks in the form of overcrowded places and negative perception of tourists can be detected on the other hand (Füller and Michel 2014).126 In Vienna the “Schönbrunn Palace and Park”, “Schönbrunn Zoo” as well as the Aqua Terra Zoo are some of the most visited sights. This case study analyses these three sights in more detail.
