Tourism Review Media highlights Vienna’s record-breaking year in congress tourism for 2024, with the city hosting 6,619 congresses and corporate events, contributing EUR 1.32 billion to Austria’s economy. Compared to 2023, Vienna recorded a modest 2% increase in congresses (totalling 2,193) and a slightly larger 3% rise in corporate events (totalling 4,426), extending their impact beyond the city and contributing to nationwide growth.

Driven by a combination of economic advantages, cultural appeal, and strategic initiatives, Vienna is well positioned to remain a leading global destination for congress tourism in 2025 and beyond.
