AUSSIES can get a real taste of Austria over the next week or so, with award-winning chef Werner Pichlmaier – from Vienna’s famous Hotel Sacher – in Sydney to cook at the Shangri-La Hotel’s stunning Altitude restaurant. Austrian wines are also on offer, with the hotel last night featuring a fabulous ‘Taste Culture – Austrian Wine Dinner hosted by Willi Klinger, md of the Austrian wine marketing board. And Austrian Tourism is making the most of the Vienna: Art & Design exhibition at Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria, hosting a special ‘Unique Like You’ Travel Symposium in conjunction with the event. Senior ANTO executives – including ceo Petra Stolba – will attend the Symposium, with top selling Austria wholesalers and agents to gather in Melbourne next week to take part. Presenters will include delegates from Vienna, Innsbruck, Salzburg, the Altstadt Hotel, the Kunst Historisches Museum and the Arlberg region. And in a unique move, attending wholesalers and agents will be invited to provide feedback on current tourism offerings in Austria, with a view to operators changing their products to suit the needs of Aussie travellers. Pictured above at an Altitude function yesterday are, from left: ANTO’s New York-based regional mgr Michael Gigl; Astrid Mulholland-Licht; Austrian Ambassador to Australia, Dr Hannes Porias; and ANTO chief executive officer, Dr Petra Stolba. |
