Direct Flights Necessary To Boost Chinese Tourism Traffic In Hungary
Minister for National Economy György Matolcsy spoke at the conference titled 'Chinese-Hungarian Trade Relations Today', stating that cooperation between Hungary and China has been increasingly promising and a strong economic bridge has been built between the two countries. Chinese investments total almost 2.5 billion USD in Hungary. According to the Minister, the latest Wanhua project at Kazincbarcika may be followed by further six to eight significant investments.

On the other hand, the Minister for National Economy stressed that there was still much to be done in the field of logistics development. Hungary is an obvious logistics center where any kind of transport infrastructure can be established – let it be by air, road or on waterways – therefore by exploiting all the possibilities the country must become a significant logistics hub, the minister stated.

On the two-day of the conference, organized by Századvég Economic Research Institute and the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (IE CASS), participants analyzed among other topics, the role Hungary plays in Chinese tourism and the opportunities this field offers, establishing that Hungary should attract as many Chinese tourists as possible, as the Asian country is a huge market of potential visitors where tourism spending was rising even during the crisis. Among others, direct flights between the two countries must be restored, relevant marketing must be launched and visa administration processes must be speeded up – experts said.
