"In recent years, we have felt strongly what it means when business, art, culture, events and others have to "take a break" in Austria. And we will continue to have to assert ourselves against the growing international competition. To do so, it will be essential to leverage our strengths and use digital technologies and infrastructures to our advantage. Customers are looking for more emotions and experiences, and they are also demanding greater specialization.

Unique selling points can be created here. We must build on our great expertise and quality of advice and offer new, individualized and special services. Tailored communication via digital channels helps us to reach customers better and more individually, and also to inspire them. This inspiration from us experts is needed because people and companies are constantly on the lookout for new things. The issues of sustainability and environmental protection are also becoming more important in our industry - younger people in particular attach great importance to more careful production processes.

To ensure that we are as well equipped as possible for these many tasks, we have drawn up this guide together with the creative industries. It is intended to give you impetus, point out possibilities, explain them in a comprehensible way and thus make it possible to implement what is currently urgently needed.

All the best and good luck!"
