Relations between Belgrade and Budapest are heating up at all levels, from politics to the economy to tourism cooperation. An agreement on the joint appearance of the two countries on distant markets was signed in Budapest.
When tourists from distant lands come to Europe, they never visit just one country. They want to see the whole region.
“Our chance in distant markets such as China, Russia, America, Canada, is only if we work together. Our offer is similar. We have spas, rich culture, and you and we enjoy good food. If we pack it all nicely, we will sell in distant markets,” points out the deputy director of the Hungarian Tourist Organization Laszlo Konjid.
Serbia and Hungary will jointly organize study visits of foreign journalists and tourist workers, which will reduce the costs of promotion.
“It is very important here that we will harmonize our individual advantages and make even better results together. For example, we are very well positioned on the Chinese market and Hungarians see that as our advantage,” explains the director of the Tourist Organization of Serbia, Marija Labovic.
Hungary lifted all epidemic measures
The Hungarians admit that they do not know enough about Serbia as a tourist country, and now is the time to correct that as well. The Hungarian public service reported on the stay of the Serbian tourist delegation in Budapest and the campaign “I choose Serbia” this summer.
They especially liked the brochure “52 weekends in Serbia” – 52 ideas on how to spend a few days in the country. I was twice in Novi Sad and Belgrade. I did not go further, but this meeting opened my desire to go to the south, east and west of Serbia,” says tourism diplomat Marta Fazekas.
A few days ago, Hungary abolished all epidemic measures, because they vaccinated 60% of the population.
The country rich in mineral waters has also found a good way to refresh people on these hot days.
There are water doors with sprayers along the streets and in the squares, and whoever passes through them, at least for a moment, catches his breath, RTS reports.
