While Mozart and classical music remain the city's main tourist attractions, half of all visitors who come here every year from the US, Britain, Canada and Asia make the trip because of The Sound of Music, according to the tourism office.

  "300,000 visitors who come to Salzburg almost exclusively because of The Sound of Music, that's just a great story, a success story," Herbert Brugger, managing director of Salzburg Tourism, said.

SEATTLE 聽 Quarterback Russell Wilson isn鈥檛 dwelling on the past, not even the Seahawks incredible Super Bowl win. He says he s completely <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine Bags</a> focused on the upcoming season.
"It's the most successful location placement in film history," he said.

鈥淲hen I think about my job and what I do鈥?winning the Super Bowl last year has nothing to do with this year, it has nothing to do with it.鈥?said Wilson during an exclusive interview with Q13FOX News that aired Wednesday night.
Bus tours take visitors around the movie's locations twice a day, Sound of Music dinner-and-concert evenings are organised regularly and the Salzburg puppet theatre has even created its own version of the musical.
+
Wilson told Q13FOX News Sports Director Aaron Levine his eye is firmly on the 2014 season.
But Austria itself was slow to catch on to this worldwide craze.
+
鈥淚 think that for me, it鈥檚 staying focused on the next opportunity that I have and I think our whole team is <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Buy Celine Bags</a> doing that, really,鈥?said Wilson.
The story of the von Trapp family was made into several German-language films here [url=http://www.saclouisvuittonhomme.com]Sac Louis Vuitton Wilshire[/url] in the 1950s and was widely known locally.

The Seahawks quarterback was asked about his hectic off-season schedule. When you win great opportunities come your way, but added, I m very good at being selective in what I do.  
But the 1959 Broadway musical, on which the Hollywood version was based, only premiered in Vienna in 2005 and in Salzburg in 2011 - to great success.

Watch Part 1 of the interview here:
Most Austrians have never seen the Oscar-winning film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.

As the official home of the Seattle Seahawks, Q13FOX News has been given exclusive insider access to the team and players throughout the entire season.
Even now, asking a Salzburg resident where one might find the Do-Re-Mi steps - where Maria von Trapp teaches the children how to sing in the movie - is likely to provoke a bemused reaction.

Don t <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine UK Outlet</a> miss Part 2 of the exclusive interview with Russell Wilson, which will air at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday; he reveals his best friend on the team, and what he calls the best news he s ever heard.
For a Mozart-obsessed city, which prides itself on its prestigious music festival: "It just brings diversity... I think it adds to the greatness of Salzburg," said Keijo Halinen, from Finland, who joined one of the Sound of Music tours with his wife Monica.
+
&nbsp;
Every day, dozens of tourists of all ages and nationalities jump on a bus to see the romantic gazebo where Liesl sang Sixteen going on Seventeen, the church in Mondsee where the famous wedding scene took place and Leopoldskron Palace, where the lake scenes at the Trapp villa were filmed.
+
&nbsp;
On the way, many sing along to the well-known music by the American partners Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.
+
&nbsp;
"It's a family film. We've had visitors who were first here backpacking, then came with their wife, later with their children and today they come with their grandchildren," said Stefan Herzl, who organises the Original Sound of Music Tour.
+
The breathtaking countryside of green hillsides and deep blue mountain lakes adds to the magic for [url=http://www.saclouisvuittonhomme.com]Sac Louis Vuitton Speedy Round[/url] visitors, touring not just film locations but the city where the real von Trapps lived.
+
"We probably wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for this to be honest... The Sound of Music was a massive draw," said Matt Preston from London, who opted for the tour rather than visit Mozart's birthplace.
+
"Something about the movie captures audiences' attention. It's magical. Just seeing the beautiful scenery, the Alps, it's very heartwarming," added Jennifer, a recent university graduate from Austin, Texas, who was taking the tour for a second time.
+
With new stage productions popping up every year including in China, Japan and India, interest in The Sound of Music shows no sign of letting up. A live TV special in the US last December and a televised casting show in Britain in 2006 drew millions of viewers.
+
This is good news for Salzburg's tourism office, which uses new productions of the musical whenever it can to sell the city abroad as a travel destination.
+
With the movie turning 50 next year, Salzburg is already in talks with 20th Century Fox and the estate of Rodgers and Hammerstein to bring back the cast of the movie and organise a special tribute.
+
"The story with The Sound of Music is obviously nowhere near  ending," said tourism director Brugger.
