I have just read an article in today's online edition of "austriantimes.at" and it talks about the tourism in Linz.
I thought you might be interested because Linz is named as one of two "European Cultural Capitals" 2009. (The other is Vilnius, which is in Lithuania.)
Basically what it says is that the tourism in Linz had risen and that it was a "strong" August.
It also says that the increase had been 8.9 per cent year on year.
There had been August increases in the countries: Italy, Switzerland, Belgian ...
What surprised me is the fact that the number of overnights by people from India, China, USA etc., who visited Linz mainly on business, had decreased.
In my opinion it's great that Linz is one of two "European Cultural Capitals" because so there are more tourists in Austria.
