Congress city Vienna: More events than ever in 2013 |
|
Vienna, 28 April, 2014 (APA/OTS) - Vienna's 2013 congress report
contains first-rate results: Over 3,000 congresses and corporate
events, and - for the first time ever - over a half a million
delegates represent a new record. |
In the year 2013, 501,337 delegates (+1% on 2012) attended 3,389
congresses and corporate events in Vienna, 13 more than the previous
year. Nevertheless, the resulting 1,401,888 bednights fell short of
the preceding year's exceptionally high level (-8%). The national
value-added generated by the Vienna conference industry contributed
832.17 million euros to Austria's gross domestic product, securing
16,000 year-round jobs in the process. In total, Vienna recorded
around 12.7 million visitor overnights in 2013. Congress tourism
accounted for 11% of this amount.
The latest statistics published by the International Congress and
Convention Association (ICCA) in 2013 confirmed Vienna as the
world's No. 1 destination for international congresses in 2012 for
the eighth time in succession. "Vienna's success as a congress
metropolis is based on many different factors," according to
Director of Tourism Norbert Kettner. "Meetings in the Austrian
capital are optimally supported by municipal and academic
facilities, and with 24 licensed certification agencies for Green
Meetings, Vienna has already demonstrated vision with respect to
environmental sustainability, and the city's growing importance as a
Central European hub is proving a valuable asset. Besides, new hotel
projects in the up-market segment coupled with the redevelopment of
the area around the new Main Station are generating sustainable
impetus." The Vienna Meeting Planners' Guide provides information on
Vienna's congress infrastructure - the latest edition is also
available as an app for the iPad for the first time. Further information: http://www.vienna.convention.at
