PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES

Travel Exhibition professional conference

Tourism on new wings: strategic steps for development and innovation

Venue:
The first floor conference room of the new Hungexpo main building (F1 reception building),
Budapest, Albertirsai út 10, 1101.

Following the traditions of the previous years, the event starts again with a professional day, which offers an excellent opportunity to cultivate professional contacts, to establish new partnerships and to learn about the current trends in the market. The organisers have once again asked our publisher, Turizmus Kft., to organise the conference, which strongly defines the professional character of the event.

In 2025, the focus will be on health, sport and active lifestyles and their interaction with the different areas of tourism. Speakers will present national and international examples of efforts and solutions that can play a significant role in harnessing the positive effects of physical activity and active living on tourism.

Be part of this inspiring meeting and learn first-hand about the latest trends and developments!
