The Donau Lounge represents itself with its own stand/stage and programs at international book fairs in the area.
This unique literary program first came out at the 2012 BUCH WIEN – Vienna International Book Fair. Since then, within the framework of a wide international cooperation, the Donau Lounge has become a genuine regional program along the Danube. One of its principal aims is to establish a sincere and likeable cultural and literary platform for the nations along the Danube, in which the force of the cultural cohesion is represented by the river Danube itself.
Besides showcasing a selection of recent publications, organizers of the Donau Lounge feature the discussion of themes and topics that are of great importance to the area: Such as the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War or the 25th anniversary of the collapse of communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe.

The pilot project will focus on the development and testing of a certification scheme for small hospitality sector representatives and for wineries with capacity to host visitors. It will undertake research and use customer feedback to educate members on new trends in tourism development and will help establish a network of certified partners to raise awareness of the Authentic Danube Quality Mark across the region and amongst selected international markets.

On the one hand, the project is expected to bring about induced cooperation between stakeholders which, in turn, is bound to improve professionalism towards consistently delivering the best to visitors. The improved quality of service will result in enhanced experiences and greater satisfaction.
In the meantime, this pilot phase will strengthen cooperation between partners from the Middle and Lower Danube and the upper stream of the river, which will inevitably play a crucial role in balancing the overall tourism development on a region‐wide level.
