Title: With Ramadan over, Arabs flock to my hometown Zell am See Post by: Tender Branson on July 21, 2015, 12:45:29 PM The Austrian village that's a Muslim holiday hotspot – in pictures
Ten years ago, the tourist board of Zell am See in Austria made a terrific call. According to the Qur’an, paradise looks like a lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains – so they started promoting their village to travel agencies in the Middle East. Now, the area receives 70,000 visitors from the Gulf States every year. Photographer Marieke van der Velden joins the tourists: http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2015/jul/20/zell-am-see-austrian-village-muslim-holiday-hotspot-in-pictures Of course, there are some cultural differences - but I don't mind them. Most of the tourists are very friendly and they leave a lot of cash here.
