Since starting my posting as Ambassador in Vienna in September 2016, I have had the pleasure of visiting almost every Austrian state, from Vorarlberg to Lower Austria.
Along the way, I have met dozens of businesses, including importers of British products to Austria, and Austrian companies with a significant presence in the UK. I have met politicians from different parties, students of all ages, journalists from Austria’s thriving regional press and many others. In Tyrol, I learned a little of the ‘bärig’ local dialect half way up a snowy mountain.
Travelling outside of the capital city is an important part of my work as I seek to understand Austria and its wonderful people. Austria is not just Vienna, any more than the United Kingdom is just London. I look forward to further regional visits in future!
You can see the immense variety of Austria in the videos of the visits so far:
