IA Study Concerning the Revision of the Cableways Directive As can be seen from Figure 2.10, the annual turnover of the Doppelmayr-Garaventa group increased steadily from 2001/2002 peaking at €680m in the year 2007/2008 before decreasing in 2008/2009 and 2009/2010. This is consistent with the global economic crisis which occurred during these years and to the decrease in demand, particularly from the Alps region. Figure 2.10: Annual Turnover of the Doppelmayr-Garaventa from 2000/2001 to 2010/2011- based on Doppelmayr-Garaventa Press Releases (See http://www.doppelmayr.com/en/doppelmayrinternational/press/press-releases.html?country=all) Value Added of Cableways Operation The cableways industry in Austria employs some 14,000 people across 254 operating companies and in 2007/2008 had an annual turnover of €1.14bn (BMVIT, nd). In addition, investment in cableways construction (€557 million) creates opportunities for construction companies. For Switzerland, the operation of cableways generates in excess of around €830 million per year 10 and employs over 9,500 people (Remontées Mécaniques Suisses, nd). The operation of cableways is also central to many countries’ tourist industries and is thus responsible for generating value that is not directly linked to its manufacture, construction and operation. Austria’s cableway sector has evolved into an essential feature of the country’s winter tourism industry which accounts for 4.1% of the country’s economy (and is thus comparable with banking and insurance), sustains 250,000 jobs and generates about €1.8 trillion in taxes and social security payments per year (BMVIT, nd). The income multiplier of the cableways operation sector is 6.6, i.e. for every €1,000 in wages, salaries and profits, which are associated with the 10 CHF 1 billion, converted at April 2012 rate using www.oanda.com Page 44

As can be seen, the three main companies employ around 5,000 employees.

Changes in Volumes of Cableways Sold Figure 2.11 presents the numbers of new cableway installations for skiing purposes installed from 2001 to 2010, based on data from Vanat (2011) and Lift-World (nd). The number of cableways other than those for skiing purposes that are installed annually still appears to be relatively small (see Figure 2.3) and conclusions based on data on cableways for skiing are therefore deemed representative for the whole cableways sector.

2.6.1 Developments in the Industry<br />
Overview<br />
The following key trends have been identified:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
changes in volumes of cableways sold;<br />
changes in the types of cableways being sold;<br />
changes in regional demand; and<br />
changes in the range of products and services offered by the main manufacturers<br />
in mature markets.<br />
Changes in Volumes of <strong>Cableways</strong> Sold<br />
Figure 2.11 presents the numbers of new cableway installations for skiing purposes<br />
installed from 2001 to 2010, based on data from Vanat (2011) and Lift-World (nd).<br />
The number of cableways other than those for skiing purposes that are installed<br />
annually still appears to be relatively small (see Figure 2.3) and conclusions based on<br />
data on cableways for skiing are therefore deemed representative for the whole<br />
cableways sector.<br />
