Vienna, Austria (April 14, 2026) - Travelive, the preferred collection of destination management companies, announces the launch of Austria as its newest full-service destination. The addition reflects sustained demand from travel advisors and continued growth in multi-country itineraries across Central Europe.
Austria has been part of Travelive itineraries for several years, most often combined with Italy, Switzerland, and Croatia+. As demand increased, the company invested in building a dedicated structure on the ground, including local partnerships, product development, and in-country planners. Austria by Travelive now operates as a fully established DMC, aligned with the same standards applied across all destinations.
Each Travelive destination is developed through direct collaboration with local suppliers, ongoing product testing, and the integration of in-country teams. Austria follows this model, focusing on operational consistency and local expertise at every stage of the journey.
"Launching Austria as a full destination was a direct response to our travel advisor community," says Panos Chalvantzis, Co-Founder, Chairman & CEO of Travelive. "We have seen increasing demand for itineraries that include Austria as a core component. This led to a structured investment in developing a local team, ensuring that Austria operates with the same level of precision and consistency as the rest of our portfolio."
Austria by Travelive offers a range of experiences across key regions, combining cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and strong travel infrastructure. The destination supports both standalone itineraries and multi-country combinations.
Key regions include:- Vienna Region (Vienna & Burgenland): Imperial landmarks, café culture, and the wine landscapes surrounding Lake Neusiedl
- Salzburg Region & Lakes: Baroque heritage, alpine scenery, and Austria's most iconic lake district
- Tyrol & Alps: Dramatic mountain landscapes with year-round outdoor experiences from Innsbruck to the high peaks
- Graz & Southern Austria: Culinary traditions, vineyard-covered hills, and sunlit countryside shaped by local flavors
- Danube & Wine Region: Wachau Valley vineyards, abbeys, and cultural hubs along Austria's most scenic river routes
- Lech & Vorarlberg: Refined alpine living, world-class skiing, and contemporary culture in Austria's westernmost region
All itineraries are managed by Travelive's in-country teams, with coordination across planning and operations. For multi-country travel, Austria is integrated through the company's country combinations structure, led by senior planners with destination-specific experience.
"Austria adds depth to Central European itineraries and works naturally within multi-country routing," adds Deborah Haile, Regional Director Italy, Switzerland & Austria at Travelive. "Our focus has been on building a strong local network and refining the product so that advisors can plan with clarity and confidence."
The addition of Austria strengthens Travelive's European portfolio and reinforces its operating model, where each destination is supported by Travelive's local teams and delivered through a unified structure.
