The Vienna Experts Club International (VECI) was founded in 2006 to give travel industry professionals around the world a B2B platform with relevant information about Vienna. Today, it has grown into an international community of around 16,000 members from more than 100 countries who not only know Vienna, but want to experience it as well.
20 Years of VECI
In 2026, we celebrate the club’s 20th anniversary. Even after two decades, it remains unique worldwide in its format and continues to evolve, with the goal of bringing international travel experts closer to Vienna and offering them real value.
One particularly successful element is the steadily expanding range of benefits for visits to Vienna. Members now enjoy more than 150 exclusive offers across the city.

In addition to individually organized Vienna trips, some of our members have also been able to explore the city through curated Vienna journeys.

In recent years, we have also worked with Vienna partners to organize numerous competitions, including hotel stays, culinary experiences, and exclusive giveaways.
Through its monthly newsletter, the club also keeps its community up to date on new attractions, hotels, and current developments in Vienna. Since its founding, around 1,000 editions have been sent out.
