(ANSA) - TRIESTE - While in neighbouring Hungary the local authorities are debating whether or not to follow the ''Austrian trend'', in Vienna shopkeepers are pushing for ''special tourist areas'', where shops can remain open even on any public holiday, against the rules which establish that almost all businesses should remain closed.
This is reported in a survey released today by the Chamber of Commerce of Vienna (WKO), that asked its members to express their opinion on the establishment of the so-called Wiener Tourismuszonen, areas of the city where shops can remain open on Sundays, without limitation. 72.6% of respondents said they are in favour of the initiative.(ANSA).
