Christmas business is booming: Visitor flows rekindled!

The Christmas business in Austria is booming! Last Saturday, the Westfield SCS, Austria's largest shopping center, experienced a real rush. Up to 90,000 visitors were expected to close, which is of great importance for a shopping weekend. According to the APA, the center of the center, Ungersbäck, expressed that the trade was very satisfied because the demand for higher -priced products had increased. The first Saturday of Advent already brought double -digit growth in the frequency compared to the previous year, which makes the signs appear very positive for the rest of the Christmas business. The number of visitors in the City Center Amstetten was four percent above the previous year's level, and the per capita turnover also shows increasing tendencies, reported Center Manager Katharina Gfrerer.

"Weather that plays us in the cards"

Another crucial factor for the Christmas rush is the weather, which is very cheap this year. With the falling temperatures, the demand for winter clothing and sports equipment increases, which is rated as very positive by Juhazz, the manager of the SCS. The events such as the "Golden Zwettler Advent" also contribute to increasing the frequency of visitors. Popular gifts this year are vouchers, toys, clothing and electronics items, which are particularly popular with young people and young adults, as the APA report shows.

The Riga Christmas season shines with its extraordinary Christmas market, which takes place in the picturesque old town from November 29, 2024 to January 29, 2024 to January 29, 2024. The charming wooden stands and festive lighting create a magical atmosphere where visitors can stroll through the stands and enjoy mulled wine, the website reports on the Riga Christmas markets. Popular locations include the Doma Laukums, known for its enchanting Christmas tree and the variety of local craftsmanship and culinary delights. Other markets, such as the one in Esplanade Park, offer a colorful range of Christmas activities, which makes the city an ideal goal for Christmas and attracts many travelers.

With a combination of pleasant Christmas sales in Austria and the magical atmosphere of the Riga Christmas markets, this year's festival time is all about happiness and joy while shopping and celebrating.
