Vorarlberg

Форарльберг 1

Vorarlberg is the smallest and most western state of Austria with a total area of 2,601 km². It borders Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Tyrol. Vorarlberg has a total population of 403,000 residents with a population density of 147/km². The most important cities are the capital city Bregenz, Dornbirn, and Feldkirch. The distance to Vienna is around 670 km.

Vorarlberg is a very unique state. The inhabitants have managed to preserve their historical customs and traditions and their Alemannic dialect which is spoken by the majority of the population. Remarkably, Vorarlberg is one of the most developed regions of Austria because of the proximity to even three rich countries. The living costs and living standards are thus very high there.Vorarlberg Regarding the economy, it is worth mentioning that almost the entire economy is industrialised and a considerable part of Vorarlberg`s companies from the textile, food, electronics, and iron industry operate internationally. The main industry is still the textile sector (31%) which exists there already for centuries. Another important part of the economy is the energy sector. Various hydroelectric power plants at mountain rivers produce electricity not only for Austria, but also for Germany and the Benelux countries. Vorarlberg`s unemployment rate is around 5.2%, thus, very low. However, many inhabitants of Vorarlberg commute every day to work to Switzerland. This leads to economic interdependences with neighbouring countries.

Apart from the mentioned international interdependences, offers Vorarlberg also highly developed touristic infrastructure which attracts every year 8 Mio. tourists.
