INTRODUCTION: THE PROVINCE<br />

Festivals of world renown, the surprisingly vivid<br />

cultural scene, and internationally successful<br />

businesses not only set standards but also demand<br />

standards that are a good bit above average.<br />

<strong>Vorarlberg</strong> knows how to present itself with the<br />

right combination of precision and creative ideas.<br />

Also speaking for <strong>Vorarlberg</strong> as a conference location is:<br />

Its central location in the four-country-corner between Austria,<br />

Switzerland, Germany and the Principality of Liechtenstein.<br />

Its good accessibility by car, railway and airplane. The nearest<br />

airport with international connections is the Bodensee-Airport<br />

Friedrichshafen, only a half hour drive from Bregenz. The airports<br />

Zurich and Munich are approx. 1.5 hours away by car, the<br />

regional airport St. Gallen-Altenrhein is just half an hour away.<br />

The high standards of the hotel trade and gastronomy. With<br />

approximately 160 5 - and 4-star hotels as well as 310 3-star<br />

establishments the region boasts some 23,000 beds.<br />

Numerous family-run hotels offer conference and seminar<br />

rooms. Large congresses are coordinated in close co-operation<br />

with hotels in nearby Germany and in Switzerland.<br />

<strong>Vorarlberg</strong>’s cuisine is considered among the best in all of<br />

Austria: 49 restaurants have been toque-awarded by the<br />

gourmet guide Gault Millau. The province boasts numerous<br />

traditional inns as well.<br />

The scenic variety on a small area, with lakes, gorges, mountains,<br />

lively towns and cosy villages.<br />

The innumerable possibilities for social programmes in the<br />

summer and winter – skiing in the world-famous skiing areas<br />

at the Arlberg or the Montafon, hiking with a traditional<br />

round of "Kässpätzle" (cheese dumplings), canyoning, rafting,<br />

cruises on Lake Constance, exploring the modern architecture<br />

of <strong>Vorarlberg</strong> are but a few of the possibilities.<br />

The cultural programme: <strong>Vorarlberg</strong> is setting for numerous<br />

events all year round, for example the Bregenz Spring Dance<br />

Festival (March to May), the Feldkirch Festival (June), the<br />

Bregenz Festival (July/August) or the Schubertiade Hohenems<br />

(Winter) and Schwarzenberg (July, August/September).
