A major accolade for the Austrian tourism industry
The renowned Alpin Resort Sacher Seefeld is once again making a strong statement in international luxury hospitality: David Oberlindober, General Manager of the five-star superior resort in Seefeld in Tyrol, has been named "Young Generation Tourism Star of the Year" at the Austrian "Tourismusstars 2026" awards.
The ceremony took place at the historic Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna and honours young leaders who actively shape the future of tourism through innovation, sustainable concepts and exceptional commitment.
An extraordinary career in luxury hospitality
David Oberlindober is a prime example of a new generation of modern hotel managers in Austria. Even during his master's studies at the renowned Luxury Hotel School Paris, he gained international experience in upscale hospitality.

Today, Oberlindober is responsible for the strategic and operational development of the resort and plays a decisive role in shaping its modern positioning between alpine luxury, health expertise and personal hospitality.
