holds its rehearsal
IMO the reference here is to the rehearsal of a theatre piece. You could also dress up the translation (pun intended) by using 'dress rehearsal'. In any case the translation should be reworded.

microcosm
Nesrin's quote gave me an idea.
How about something along the lines of, "Upper Austria, the microcosm of the vacation world that is Austria..."
Not brilliant :-), but it may give somebody some ideas.
