|
|
| There are many good reasons for inviting important
conferences, meetings, conventions to Vienna: The tradition of Vienna as a major conference site dates back to the year 1815, when the city hosted the peace talks following the Napoleonic Wars ("Congress of Vienna").

Vienna is clean, green and safe. Delegates will feel at ease when discovering the many facets of this metropolis. There are no restrictions whatsoever for citizens of any country of the world to enter Austria.

No bad surprises for congress organizers - Austria's inflation rate is low, as its unemployment rate. Since January 1st, 1995 Austria is a full member of the European Union. Vienna is located in the very heart of Europe - this is of benefit to all participants, who will be able to reach Vienna easily either by plane, car or train.
