If you ask me ...<br />

Happiness isn’t a matter <strong>of</strong> chance, unless you are fortunate enough to win the lottery.<br />

Rather, being happy is a lasting feeling that doesn’t require any jackpot. I’m not looking to<br />

claim that a holiday will make everyone happy forever. But I can promise that a holiday in<br />

Austria will give you many happy moments, to cheer you long after you’ve travelled back<br />

home. Austria enjoys the ideal conditions for these happy moments. The country brings<br />

together <strong>wonderful</strong> natural landscapes where you can find inner peace and restore your<br />

strength. From the Alps to the Danube to the Pannonian plain. There are also countless<br />

thrilling experiences to be enjoyed – Austria is known as the cultural heart <strong>of</strong> Central Europe,<br />

and famous well beyond its borders as a country that knows how to live. This is closely tied<br />

to the special people who live here. And to its long tradition as a country <strong>of</strong> hospitality,<br />

committed to ensuring that its visitors experience holiday happiness.<br />

I wish you an <strong>Austrian</strong> holiday with plenty <strong>of</strong> happy moments!<br />

Yours, Petra Stolba, CEO, <strong>Austrian</strong> <strong>National</strong> <strong>Tourist</strong> <strong>Office</strong><br />
