Over 23,000 Visitors at the Hungexpo Exhibitions Last Week

More than 23,000 visitors attended the 47th Utazás+ International Tourism Exhibition and Experience Festival and the Budapest Boat Show, which were held simultaneously with the event, between February 20 and 23 at the Hungexpo Budapest Congress and Exhibition Center in the Hungarian capital.

During the four days, Hungexpo hosted a number of professional events, along with the Budapest Boat Show, the Caravan Salon and the E-bike Test&Show, on a total area of more than 30,000 square meters. The feedback from 250 exhibitors from 35 countries showed that this year there was an increase in the number of serious enquiries for products and services, with many deals being signed.

The country's largest tourism fair again this year featured a foreign country and a domestic region: the foreign guest of honor this year was Slovakia, the country of surprises, which presented itself with a large stand, 17 exhibitors and a number of interesting events and tastings. The domestic guest of honor this time was the Four Seasons Balaton and VisitBalaton365, the official destination management organization of the ‘Hungarian sea’.

According to the organizers, the Blogger Corner, the Roadless Festival with backpackers giving talks and the Africa Expo were a great success. The E-bike Test&Show, which was a novelty two years ago, was again very well attended, with thousands of people trying out the electric bikes on the purpose-built 3,000-square-meter test track. At the 33rd Budapest Boat Show this year, 40 exhibitors displayed more than 100 boats, and the Hungarian Motorized Water Sports Association was the guest of honor of the exhibition in 2025.
