Austrian village Längenfeld introduces pay-as-you-wish tourism
Austrian village, Längenfeld, has invited 200 visitors to stay for for three days during the first week of July and pay what they think their stay was worth when it’s time to leave.
Visitors will be asked to fill in a Live Quality Check survey to test the village’s hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities.
They asked to select preferred type of accommodation, as well indicate the holiday activities they enjoy—rafting, hiking, climbing, swimming, biking, culture and a spa are on offer.
16 accommodation providers, 4 restaurants and 7 leisure facilities are participating in the project, and over 400 people have applied for a testing slot.
According to Martin Santer, the project’s initiator, “Längenfeld is a place of energy, both for locals and our guests, and it has become a thriving tourist resort; a place we’re very proud of. With Live Quality Check, we’re showing our pride by letting guests determine how much they pay.”
By combining pay-as-you-wish with an extensive survey, the local tourist industry gains valuable information about the quality of their services, and useful feedback on their pricing strategy.
