Splendid Hose, now we know that you are really Danish :-)))))) My translation (I'm Finnish with two m!) would be: Honorary award of the national committee for tourism.
Anyway, Austria and Wienna (W) it is and the mark to the left was used between 1922-2001, so...? The three lions could indicate Estonia but???

the enamel crest is the coat of arms of the Austrian Bundesland (country within Austria) Kärnten.
