Foreign minister: Hungary 2024 Olympic bid represents all of central Europe
Budapest, April 20 (MTI) – Hungary’s bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024 represents not just Hungary but all of central Europe, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Wednesday.
Hosting the Olympics would add about 100,000 new jobs to the Hungarian economy and generate 3.7 billion euros in revenue. The event would contribute 0.3 percent to Hungary’s GDP growth and attract a record number of visitors, he said at a Budapest conference organised by American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham).
Budapest Mayor István Tarlós said the Olympic bid was gaining more and more support among the capital’s residents, decision makers and organisations.
