Austria

Austria’s capital – most popular MICE destination in Europe

Austria has the longest tradition of all MICE destinations. The central location in Europe and the high level of security made Vienna the ideal conference location at important turning points in history. The perpetual neutrality anchored in the Austrian constitution also made the country the ideal location for many international organizations. Austria scores as a central hub with good accessibility, an outstanding range of hotels and excellent conference and event locations. Austria’s reputation as a hospitable country with a high quality of service is certainly justified.

Vienna, as the federal capital, is the most important Austrian location for meetings and congresses. Vienna’s MICE industry was also able to end 2018 with growing numbers of participants. Vienna was the venue for more than 4,000 congresses, meetings and incentives with almost 2 million overnight stays. In the ICCA city ranking by participants, Vienna takes first place, ahead of Seoul and Barcelona. Vienna is officially the most popular MICE destination in the world.

But interesting MICE locations are also establishing themselves outside of Vienna. According to extensive surveys in various categories, the Bregenz Festival Hall is one of the three best congress centers in the world. The International Association of Congress Centers (AIPC) has once again honored “Congress Culture Bregenz”. The AIPC Apex Award is presented every two years in recognition of the highest customer rating.
