The “party tourism” in Schladming has caused lines of concern for locals in the Upper Styrian Ennstal in recent days and weeks: due to the curfew at 10pm in the state of Salzburg, for example, many are said to Salzburg residents took taxis to Styria in groups last weekend to keep celebrating there, because the curfew is only at 1.00 am at the Green Mark, media reported on Friday.
The Styrian State Police Directorate only partially confirmed the reports: Covid checks were carried out in the Schladming area last weekend. “There were also some announcements, but that was not dramatic,” he said. Obviously not many people from Salzburg were found.
Georg Bliem, managing director of Planai-Hochwurzen-Bahnen, sees it differently: “Party tourism has developed in Schladming that we did not want,” he told APA. He said that sometimes 20 people came to the bars at a time, that would be difficult for the innkeeper. Hope this settles down again and that people develop a “sensible approach.”
