In case anyone is interested in cheap Austrian packages, maybe worth researching the following.

Just saw a business programme ('Eco') on Austrian TV about East Europeans buying up or building hotels in Austria, who now undercut locally owned businesses on package-deal prices by about 30%. They rely on high occupancy to make a profit ('quantity not quality'). But they market mainly to people from their own country, for example Hungarians in Ötscher fill the hotel with other Hungarians, Russians in Kitzbühl, etc. Finding the deals might be tough to research unless you know the language.

Still, who wants to be in Austrian hotel as the only guest who speaks no Hungarian...

Depending in which part Austria you go to then there is a huge market for them. There was a big Hungarian skiing presence in Schladming when we have been. Alot of the seasonal workers are Hungarian as well.
