The Bludenz Tourism Schools in Austria
 
Tourism training in the country that sets standards in tourism

Full-time training for the hotel and tourism industry in the heart of Europe

Austria´s national education system differs from other countries in that it offers – already at the senior secondary level – a wide range of vocationally oriented schools. Their graduates are very flexible in their options: Not only do they receive a practical, useful education for the increasingly important tourist industry but also can they go on to university.
