This year, the 44th Travel Fair and the 30th Budapest Boat Show at the Hungexpo Budapest Congress and Exhibition Center were successfully concluded. One of the main lessons of the four-day event is that although the epidemic has severely battered the tourism industry, domestic tourism and boating have been able to boost. The central theme of this year’s exhibition was the relaunch of tourism and security.
The domestic guest of honor at this year’s Travel exhibition was the Veszprém-Balaton region, which will become the European Capital of Culture in 2023. Many people visited the project’s 140-square-meter stand, where they presented the rich cultural and tourist offer of Veszprém, Lake Balaton and the Bakony region with special digital solutions.
The foreign guest of honor at the exhibition was Egypt for the first time this year. The resort in the Middle East presented the country’s tourist attractions and program opportunities on its own stand. Ghada Samir Shalaby, Egypt’s Deputy Minister of Tourism and Antique Tourism, also attended the opening of the exhibition.
In addition to the Travel exhibition, several events awaited the visitors this time as well. Many people visited the Caravan Salon, where almost 50 vehicles and 15 exhibitors presented their products and services related to living caravans and 1,500 square meters.
Central and Eastern Europe one-and-only … four-day international Africa thematic forum returned to the Travel exhibition, this time at the 10th Hungary Helps Africa Expo Budapest. In cooperation with the Hungary Helps Program, 22 organizations representing fifteen African countries presented themselves at the event, which was supported by the Hungary Helps Program.
