Festival & Visitor Pressure (Salzburg): Salzburg Festival leaders are framing this year’s cultural push around “optimism” while acknowledging rising temperatures, water worries, and the strain of over-tourism. Air Connectivity (Austria link): Korea and the Czech Republic agreed to expand flights to up to 10 per week, building on earlier route boosts that also include Austria—a small but real signal for future demand.
