Mr. Richard Haris – Deputy Discover America Hungary talked about of the tourist season opening when the travelers are looking for new destinations in having plans instead of going Eastwards … now-a-days … Go West to America as a good option to spend their vacation. He also added, to choose where to spend the next vacation, is almost  impossible when it comes to visit America with a large scale of venues.  Spoke of the options for the Hungarians and other foreigners living in Hungary who already had second thoughts of visiting the states in the coming season. Highlighted, the coming largest US trade show for tourists  which will be held at the end of May and those Hungarian tour operators interested in America are welcome to apply by the end of February, 2020.

Furthermore, added  many flights to American cities as well. The Condor is based at Frankfurt- Germany and may connect directly to overseas flights from Budapest.

It would be pretty long update here to ad why visit the USA with some more information in knowing US is a country of 50 states covering a vast swath of North America, with Alaska in the northwest and Hawaii extending the nation’s presence into the Pacific Ocean. Anyway, as the time is running ahead and soon the winter is to change to the warmth season, just a doorstep away, worthwhile in planning to hit the road by vehicle, ship or fly high in every sense to a great country with great adventure.  Now-a-days really not too logical in planning to go Eastwards, but rather to Go West as Columbus did!

Major Atlantic Coast cities as New York – a global finance and culture center, the capital – Washington – DC, Midwestern metropolis Chicago known for influential architecture and on the west coast, L.A. – Hollywood famed for film industry.

To make the choice even easier, between February 27. – March 1. 2020 the annual Travel Exhibition will be held at HUNGEXPO Budapest.  Beside the presence of a wide range of international exhibitors, the USA will be back on track after many years of absence at the Budapest’s Travel Exhibition.  On the spot, the exhibitors will give extensive information based on leisure-and-pleasure, destination and soforth.

Veresi Tomato Plantation @ premises of Veresegyháza – Hungary

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

By invitation took a visit to the 3 acre greenhouse at Veresi Tomato Ltd. The importance of switching to digital precision farming was the main topic for the invited competent speakers.

A few words were told about the coming PREGA Conference and Exhibition on February 18-19. to be held this year. Its main theme is the transition to precision farming that is essential for competitive agriculture. Smaller businesses can also participate. It is in the interest of conversion, as precision farming promises greater crop safety while lowering costs.

Talked about the use of precision farming is “moving forward” in the world. Producers are transforming their economies to take advantage of new technologies, which are growing by 5 to 10 percent a year.

In the 21st century the digitalisation is a Globe fact in many fields. Import the Production, Processing and Distribution Chains of tomatoes will be able to follow through the QR code Where, How it was cultivate and how it reached the consumer.

The Spectral LED-based artificial lighting for horticulture, research and development on an industrial scale has not yet occurred all around the world. After the transfer of the greenhouse, Veresi Tomato Ltd. meters high tomato on straw bales are bedded.

After the presentations took place visiting the greenhouse plantation. Seeing the plantation and the optimized spectrum LED lighting was also fascinating.

My question was … Can a greenhouse tomato be healthier than an outdoor one? No matter how surprising was the answer was YES! Was told that when growing outdoors, it is not really possible to control what other substances the vegetable absorbs with water. Groundwater may contain chemicals that have been released into the soil for many-many decades. At the Veresi Tomato Plant, the tomato stems are in coconut fiber cushions. Checking the quality of the water in use to water the plant. This is what controlled cultivation means. No tomato can contain material which they do not know or they do not want them to get into. What there they the tomatoes is you to get only Nutrient. Today’s generation still remember granny’s garden int he countryside where the tomatoes tasted as tomatoes sweet in flavor. Here at the Veresi Plantation brings back that divine taste, enjoying the quality and the heavenly taste speaks for itself.

At the tomato plantation, you can get to know the different (by number) sweet tomatoes, see the pollination of the bees, and the working hands as the ripe bunches were collected and prepared in box to ship to the shopping mall.

The Grapes: Brix value is 12, which is similar to grapes. This is a premium tomato specialty with small berries, which is grown only in Hungary. There is no match for freshly picked tomatoes.

There they have an education center as well, where it is possible to get to know the advantages and disadvantages of various cultivation technologies, to spread misunderstandings about greenhouse cultivation technology and to conduct variety experiments based on the climatic conditions of the Carpathian Basin.

Need not look any further … Premium Tomatoes All Year Around can be  bought from the Veresi Tomato Green-House Plantation.

Spielwarenmesse – Wonderland of International Toy Exhibition 2020.

The Spielwarenmesse is well know by those in the international toy markets to come together at the world of toys, renowned brands, industries and game developers be present between January, 29. – February, 2. 2020 at the annual Toy Fair in Nuremberg – Germany.

Likewise this year at the world’s largest  international toys and games exhibition at Spielwarenmesse, featuring world-leading game manufacturers and distributors, revealed that environmental awareness is increasingly appearing in the gaming industry, bringing digital or cinematic figures to life, and classical or application-based board games will continue to grow. At the gigantic Nuremberg Exhibition, the biggest dealers were already choosing products for the next Xmas season.

As the largest children’s toy webshop in Hungary, the experts at jateknet.hu have found that the experience of unpacking is still in focus, and interactive plush and robots are gaining ground, so they are focusing on their 2020 offering accordingly.

Providing a good reflection of the current market, the 3 trends “Toys for Future” (products made from organic or recycled materials), “Digital goes Physical” (content and stars that children are familiar with in the digital world), and “Be You!”, were well received by trade visitors and exhibitors in this year’s exhibition. The focus of the fair was on connecting digital and traditional toys and environmental awareness. The sustainability trend in the toy industry is evident in plant-based plastics, paper, wooden toys and packaging.  The jateknet.hu webshop, for example, reuses large boxes of toys – purchased from suppliers – by forwarding them to customers who order a variety of products.

Gergely Őri, manager of jateknet.hu webshop, said: “The unpacking experience remains one of the leading trends this year when either the player unpacks the toy or the toy itself „pops out” of its box. Thousands of novelties are expected in the spring offering, including exciting toys where the need to unscrew balls from a machine and get the surprises from the balls, or cut the toy itself out of a hard jelly-like material.” Molded materials also play an important role, such as slimes, but they are no longer part of the process of making them (which has burst into public awareness), but rather as part of other games.

The proliferation of interactive plush and robot items are undeniable, primarily due to the new generation’s changed lifestyle and play habits. One might think that in today’s digitalisation environment (online and mobile games, e-sports) it is becoming increasingly difficult to get kids to play physical games. Experience has, however, shown that board games are flourishing – for example, Monopoly is 85 years old –  that most popular retro toys are „remodeling” or adapting and adding mobile apps and applications, but physical display from digital is also a popular trend, such as Fortnite video game toy-figures.

The experience of the exhibition has confirmed  that the heros of the major manufacturers are always determined by the actual new films, cartoons and video games that appear in the given year.  Parents must be aware and prepared in advance because most of the new and trendy children’s toys are  already and will be added to the web store’s offer.
