The number of coaches coming to Hallstattdoubled in the space of five years, reaching 21,254 last year. Many of the biggertour groups were made up of visitors from Taiwan, China, South Korea and theUS.While today the virus has brought a measure of serenity to the village, thedebate on how tourism can be made more sustainable has returned even moreforcefully. A growing divide had been opening up between the local winnersand losers from the tourism boom, Scheutz said.As Austria was easing its COVID-19 lockdown last month, Hallstattbrought in a new system for limiting coach numbers — only for the coaches tovanish anyway. While the car park has been full on the weekends sincelockdown eased, current visitors are overwhelmingly Austrians or people fromneighboring countries.“The way it is now reminds us of how Hallstatt was before, and we’d likeit to stay that way,” said one local climbing the steps to her house, which clingsto the mountainside.The forced respite brought about by coronavirus should be a chance to “getthings back in order,” Scheutz said, adding that the village could swap quantityfor “quality” when it comes to tourism. But it’s not as easy as saying: “We’llstart from scratch,” he said.
