Tourism continues to be a slippery slope to navigate during a global pandemic.<\/p>\n
Year after year, Austria is awarded the world’s highest honors for the ski resorts.\u00a0 Making the experience but worth it.<\/p>\n
However, the destination is no longer an option, and when tourists get caught bending COVID-19 rules this illegal adventure becomes even more expensive<\/p>\n
Nearly 100 foreign tourists have been caught hitting Austria\u2019s ski slopes in violation of the country\u2019s coronavirus rules during a ski resort raid by police.<\/p>\n
The tourists were from a range of countries including Australia, as well as Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Romania.<\/p>\n
The raid in Tyrol on Friday January 29 led to 96 foreigners being handed citations after some 44 accommodations in St Anton am Alberg and Stanzertal were checked.<\/p>\n
The fine for violating virus measures could be up to 2,180 euros.<\/p>\n
The mayor of St Anton, Helmut Mall<\/strong>, had sounded alarm bells after he said there were, in his view, too many foreigners in the area who weren\u2019t allowed to be there due to virus rules.<\/p>\n They apparently were taking advantage of loopholes in the regulation by registering a second residence and saying they were looking for work.<\/p>\n \u201cBut there are no jobs in tourism at the moment,\u201d Mall said, according to the Kurier newspaper.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tourism continues to be a slippery slope to navigate during a global pandemic.
