Lake Balaton is increasingly focusing on year-round tourism and expanding its presence in the Austrian market. Through exclusive media collaborations, B2B partnerships, and high-profile event appearances—from Vienna’s Kaiser Wiesn to the Danube Island Festival—the Hungarian vacation region is positioning itself as an attractive premium travel destination for the entire year.
Austria ranks among the most important and stable source markets for Hungarian tourism, reports turizmus.com. Austrian visitors spend more than 500 billion forints (1.4 billion euros) in Hungary each year. Their travel is far less seasonal and by no means limited to the capital, Budapest. Rural areas benefit in particular, where the purchasing power of our Austrian neighbors strengthens local businesses and sustainably improves the regional quality of life.
To further reinforce this trend, the tourism organization VisitBalaton365 is once again launching an intensive marketing and sales campaign in Austria during the current summer season. The strategic goal is to bring the region’s experiences, modernized infrastructure, and year-round offerings directly to the target audience—above all, to affluent and time-flexible travelers from Vienna and the surrounding area.
To kick off the season, Lake Balaton has secured a strong showcase through a collaboration among regional service providers. The current summer issue of the Austrian lifestyle and travel magazine Avida features an exclusive, eight-page insert. Readers will find insider tips, idyllic getaways, premium accommodations, and specific travel offers. Since the magazine is available not only to its tens of thousands of subscribers but also in numerous wellness hotels and beauty salons, the campaign reaches potential guests exactly when they are looking for inspiration for their next vacation.
In addition to traditional advertising, VisitBalaton365 focuses on hands-on experiences and strategic partnerships.
Together with the Hévíz Tourism Association, service providers from Lake Balaton will showcase their offerings in early July with a three-day appearance at Europe’s largest open-air festival, the Danube Island Festival. This will provide a million-strong audience with first-hand information.

The partnership with the tour operator Elite Tours ensures a direct connection without transfers. Regular shuttle buses take guests directly from Vienna to Hévíz. On-site bike rentals—in cooperation with BalatonBike365—encourage visitors to actively explore even the lesser-known corners of the region on two wheels.
The region already demonstrated in February that Lake Balaton is “timelessly trendy” when it served as the guest of honor at the Small Vienna Opera Ball. This cultural thread is now being further developed. This summer, an Austrian delegation is expected to attend the traditional Anna Ball in Balatonfüred, which is intended to further deepen the tourist and diplomatic ties between the two countries. In addition, exclusive receptions hosted by Raiffeisen Bank and the magazine Cercle Diplomatique were already held this spring to generate enthusiasm for the region among opinion leaders and the Vienna Diplomatic Corps.

The promotional activities do not end with the summer. The organization is now preparing for the fall season. Following participation in the summer meeting of Corps Touristique Austria to network with travel agencies and the media, a highlight in the Austrian capital will follow in the fall. At the Vienna Kaiser Wiesn (from late September to mid-October), the Balaton lifestyle will be extended both spatially and temporally. The “Hungarian Sea” will thus seem to reach all the way to Vienna, making the promise of “four-season tourism” a tangible reality.
The campaign is supported by current economic data. A study by Bank Austria confirms that Hungary offers excellent value for money.
For Austrian travelers, 100 euros spent in Hungary equates to a purchasing power of 125 euros—an invaluable advantage in an economically sensitive environment where consumers are choosing their destinations with increasing care.

“Austria represents a type of visitor who travels year-round, seeks high quality, and creates significant added value for our local economy,” explained Kristóf Sztojanovits, International Director of VisitBalaton365. “Our goal is not simply to increase visitor numbers. We want to ensure that the Balaton region becomes the natural choice for Austrian travelers when they think of premium experiences, active recreation, and high-quality year-round tourism,” he added.
