65% of Viennese spend Christmas with their family
Vienna (OTS) – The city television W24 carried out the current W24 city barometer together with the IFDD – Institute for Demoscopy and Data Analysis under the leadership of Christoph Haselmayer.
Almost 2/3 of Viennese celebrate Christmas with their family. Another 1/4 also invite friends and only 5% of those eligible to vote in Vienna do not celebrate Christmas.
When it comes to their preferred main course at Christmas, the Viennese are very versatile. They are most likely to prefer fish. More than a quarter of Viennese have carp and the like on their Christmas plates, but raclette is also appreciated by Viennese people.
The majority of Viennese stay in the federal capital over the Christmas holidays, but 1/5 leave. Half of them go abroad, the rest go on vacation within Austria.
Almost 2/3 of Viennese already value sustainability when it comes to gifts. This is not an issue (yet) for only 35%.
