Jenbach - At the Achenseebahn, a major tourist business in the middle of the Inntal and Achensee regions, the railway is satisfied with the number of visitors.
"The statistics say that we have about the same number of passengers as last year, so we will exceed the 100,000 mark. This is also the goal we wished to achieve," said Bernhard Marchi, Director of the Achenseebahn.
On 24 Oct 2010, the season will end with the last train finishing.
Group travel is an important factor in train operation.
60 percent of the passengers are group travelers.
Most of them come from the German federal states followed by the Dutch and Austrians.
As a result of the poor exchange rate on the pound, guests from England have decreased quite a bit.
"But the Asian's are becoming increasingly important to us," said Director Marchi.
"Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and Indians are already strongly represented among the passengers and there will be more and more."
After four years, the shop sales at Jenbach station have also developed well, because when buying a ticket, every passenger has to go through the shop.
"Which only sells railroad specific articles," the railway manager emphasized.
