On the banks of the Danube, the view from the hotel is stunning. There are still a few available spaces left for a free upgrade to a river view room if you book now, but these will sell out fast!

    • Ninad SharmaIDEX – Indian Network for Development Exchange

      WETM has been one of the most successful events for us to visit in order to meet quality partners in the work experience travel field. Despite the fact that India is a relatively new destination for such programs, we have gained tremendous benefit from attending the event continuously for many years, and we intend to participate regularly in future events also.

    • Alfredo FonsecaIntercultura de Centroamérica AFP, S.A. (Costa Rica)

      Busy and vibrant trading floor. We made contact with new potential partners from across the globe. Guest speakers also a plus. Definately worth the trip!

    • Judith LierKulturist

      Kulturist attends WETM-IAC every year and it is one of our year’s many highlights. It’s always important for us to meet our partners personally, to exchange ideas and experiences and of course to learn from the seminars. The IAPA-conference is definitely something we recommend to other au-pair-agencies!
