A vacation in Austria is currently not possible: Our neighboring country is in lockdown and is considered a high-risk area. But what if I have already booked a stay there and want my money back?
Snow, skiing, mountains – many Germans were looking forward to it so much. But the vacation in Austria must now fail.
Hotels and restaurants will be closed until December 12th. For those who have already booked, there is a glimmer of hope: With the nationwide lockdown, you have the right to a free cancellation, according to the “Frankfurter Rundschau”.
Holidays in Austria: HOW you get your money back
Tour operators and hotel operators are even obliged to give you your money back. You cannot provide the service you have booked. Another advantage is that the Foreign Office in Berlin has declared Austria a high-incidence area for corona.
So you can claim back the money you have already paid. Package tours in countries for which a travel warning has been issued can be canceled free of charge. And the same applies to countries for which an entry ban is in place or for which quarantine is mandatory.

Unfortunately, there can also be problems: It is especially difficult if you have booked the hotel, arrival and departure and excursions independently. If you have booked with a foreign provider, the laws of the respective country apply. Then you have to find a solution on your own. Package tourists, on the other hand, can, according to the “Frankfurter Rundschau“Contact your German travel agent.
