Tyrol was declared a corona risk area on Friday.
As a result, numerous vacationers started their journey home early, and day-trippers are also holding back.
Tyrol is a corona risk area.
The Federal Foreign Office responded with a travel warning.
Restaurateurs and hoteliers are hard hit.
Hinterriß - “This is a catastrophe,” says Melanie Schwarzenberger, co-owner of the Alpengasthof and nature hotel Die Eng.
“We don't have a corona case here, but the travel warning has immense effects.
Our region should be clearly demarcated from this, ”she complains.
Shortly after Tyrol was declared a risk area, she received numerous cancellations.
“Autumn is the best time for the Großer Ahornboden.
Now the guests are insecure, our phone is running hot, ”says Schwarzenberger.
In addition, the RVO mountaineering bus has not been driving since Saturday, she reports.
“Then I had to drive my guests to Hinterriß at my own expense.
Nobody informed us about it. "
Corona risk classification: RVO mountaineering bus stopped running for three days without prior notice
In response to a request from the Tölzer Kurier, Dirk Spieß from the RVO customer center in Tegernsee recorded: “The bus line was closed on Saturday due to the risk classification to be on the safe side.” According to the current status, it is planned that the bus will run again from this Tuesday.
Coronavirus: Tyrol declared a risk area - "Cancellations came in immediately"
Manfred Reindl, owner of the Gasthof zur Post in Hinterriß, also suffers from the effects of the travel warning.
“That has fatal consequences for us,” he says.
"Cancellations came in less than 15 minutes after it was announced on Friday.
We have now occupied 5 of 55 rooms, even though we would have been fully occupied at this time. ”The situation is almost as bad as it was during the lockdown.
“Despite the sunny weather, we only sold 20 lunches in the restaurant on Sunday”.
Especially in the autumn season he mainly receives German guests.
"Due to the travel warning, many no longer want to come, although you can stay here for 48 hours without quarantine or compulsory testing," he says.
In addition, the currently rainy weather is a problem.
"Nobody comes here for a day trip either." This combination is fatal for business people.
“There is nothing going on anywhere, everything seems to have died out,” says Reindl.
