Hardly anyone knows the Carinthian tourism landscape as well as hotelier and investor Bernd Hinteregger. In an interview with the "Krone" newspaper, he explains what needs to happen in tourism for Carinthia to be at the forefront again and what he plans to do with the Rondo on Lake Klopeiner See.

"Krone": Mr. Hinteregger, how are things going in Carinthian tourism from your point of view?
Bernd Hinteregger: We have a big problem with the infrastructure. It was perfect in the 70s and 80s, but now it's getting on in years. We no longer offer enough. As Josef Petritsch (note: WK tourism division chairman) says: "Carinthia has lost its desirability."
