The focus of this year’s event will be innovation and the digital transformation in tourism, director of the Budapest tourism centre (BTFK) Teodóra Bán told a press conference.

BTFK will coordinate UNWTO programmes and organise 46 of its own events that include sight-seeing on board a classic Ikarus bus and guided tours of museums, galleries and historic buildings, she said.
