The Neusiedler See region is well supplied with climate-friendly mobility services. The main city Neusiedl am See can be reached directly in 40 minutes from Vienna every hour - during the summer months, guests from Salzburg can travel to Neusiedl twice daily with the ÖBB Railjet in 3:30.

In order to raise awareness of the possibilities to travel without a car, the mobility training for employees from tourism offices and accommodation facilities took place on 17th of April 2018.

In addition to a practical part in which the participants experienced all stages of the journey from Vienna to Lake Neusiedl from the guest's point of view, topics in the theory session on climate-friendly mobility and mobility information were dealt with. The representatives of the public transport association and the regional government presented a comprehensive overview of the existing mobility offers and the possibilities to get information about them. Burgenland Tourism presented the "Tourism Strategy Burgenland 2022+" including (for the first time) the topic of sustainable mobility. The representative of the regional destination management organisation presented the initiative "holiday without car" and the offers and benefits of the Neusiedler See Card.

Finally, the central questions of the day were discussed - how the information about existing mobility offers must be presented, so that more guests decide to travel without their own car or the staff in the tourist accommodation and the tourist offices can pass this information easily and understandably to their guests.

The mobility training took place as part of the project Transdanube.Pearls in cooperation of the Mobility Center Burgenland with the Burgenland Tourism and the Neusiedler See Tourism in Purbach with the participation of experts from the regional government of Burgenland, Austrian Federal Railways, Verracon and the public transport association of the greater Vienna region. More than 20 participants and speakers from the accommodation, mobility, tourism and transport sectors took part in the event.
