| | | | | UIA Welcomes New Associate Member: Hungarian Tourism Agency
Associate Member. UIA is delighted to welcome its newest Associate Member: the Hungarian Tourism Agency!
Hungary is becoming increasingly popular among business travelers. Year in year out statistical data prove that Budapest is one of the most attractive meetings and events destinations both in Europe and in the world, but there is also a growing demand for destinations outside the capital city.

It’s easily accessible in the heart of Europe, with a diverse landscape as well as culture, and a living folk heritage well worth exploring.
