Comparing this with the situation in some other European cities, the differences become even more evident. In Vienna, for example, in 2006 tourists spent around €540 million on culture, which accounts for 6.4% of total tourism consumption. In 2008, the share was even higher (8.8%). An additional 8.2% was spent on entertainment which often includes culture.
75% of tourists come to Vienna for sightseeing and 71% for ‘culture and arts’ (RTSA, 2006).
