Indian Honeymooners are a target group for the Vienna Tourist Board – which has been successfully welcoming growing number of families with children and young travelers from India over the last many years.

“Vienna has always been a tourist’s delight. As you discover the various hues of Vienna, you realize Vienna has a young soul. It makes a romantic wedding destination, besides providing honeymooners the backdrop for a fairytale romance,” said Norbert Kettner, Director of the Vienna Tourist Board.

“As you scratch the surface, you realize there are several newlywed Indian couples in Vienna. Seeing a newlywed couple is always a pleasurable sight”, said Verena Hable, Public Relations Manager for India, who noticed a significant rush of Indian honeymooners.

To tap this segment, Vienna is advertising its romantic side in the Kuoni Romance Brochure that focuses not only on honeymooners, but also on Dual Income No Kids (DINK) and couples who want to celebrate their anniversaries and other special occasions.

The Vienna Tourist Board noted that Vienna is ready to be discovered as a honeymoon destination by Indians. 

The Board said that, Vienna's romantic spots are relatively unexplored by newlyweds from India, who are looking for a statement destination. 

"To top it all, Vienna offers everything that an Indian tourist can ask for—authentic Indian food, English speaking hospitality staff and guides and loads of shopping experiences," Hable added.

"Soon after we got engaged and the wedding was firmed up, a search for a great honeymoon destination began," said a recently married couple from Mumbai.

“I was asked to suggest some destinations,” said Raj, 32, a well travelled executive himself. "After some internet research and chat with a few friends, we started liking the idea of going to Vienna," he added.

"We could not have asked for a more romantic and beautiful honeymoon destination. Vienna’s almost untouched beauty, is the place for romance to blossom," said 28-year old Siya, who teaches in a school.

Renate Forte, Managing Director of Vienna-based Pegasus Travels who has assisted young couples from India for decades, said, "Vienna is the best city to ring in the romance with a Candle Light Dinner at the city’s hotels. When you check in, many hotels welcome you with champagne and snacks."

“There are other attractions too, like a massage or beauty treatment for bride or a Harley Davidson tour for the groom,” Renate added.

The Vienna Tourist Board said that Vienna is dotted with parks, an idyllic place to discover your soul mate.
