What do we know about travel? And by that, I don’t just mean the joy of discovering new places, experiencing foreign cultures, and learning about the world. What I’d like to explore is the impact of tourism and travel on humankind, especially now that it has transformed from a choice pursuit of the eccentric few to a favourite pastime for millions. Going on eight years in the industry, I can say one thing with confidence: at its core, travel is a force for good in the world, and for policymakers, tourism offers one of the rare opportunities to stimulate local employment, generate revenue, and ...

A painting by Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt that reappeared after nearly a century will be sold at auction in Vienna today, despite questions surrounding its provenance. "Bildnis Fraeulein Lieser" (“Portrait of Miss Lieser”) was commissioned by a wealthy Jewish industrialist's family and painted by Klimt in 1917 - a year before his death. The unfinished portrait of a dark-haired woman was likely last seen at a Viennese exhibition in 1925. It reemerged this year when Austria’s second-largest auction house im Kinsky announced its sale.

Vienna's reputation as a beacon of social housing excellence is widely considered well-deserved; the city council owns, co-owns and manages some 50 per cent of the city's residential real estate through an array of social schemes, these initiatives have made rents affordable for tens of thousands of households. This decades-old tradition, which began in the 1920s, has contributed to the city's status as the world's most liveable city. But is the system as perfect and idyllic as it seems? Recent developmen...

Austria has come up with a ‘bold’ new plan to expand its rail network over the next 16 years. By 2040, the Alpine country is set to add dozens of new routes and connections as part of an ongoing effort to broaden the appeal of train travel. Three years ago, it launched a ‘Klimaticket’ - an affordable, annual ticket that Greenpeace praised as the best in Europe for covering all means of public transport. A new generation of night trains to Germany followed last year. And one rather eye-catching campaign to get more young people aboard trains with a tattoo offer. "The target network 2040 is our ...
