Hungarian city named one of Europe’s top tourist destinations
Change language:
Veszprém has been recognised as one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations in the European Best Destinations 2023 international competition. The city also received the jury’s special award for being a family-friendly tourist destination.
Veszprém took the 7th place in the international public vote, even ahead of London, vehir.hu reported.
A major milestone
Gyula Porga, Mayor of Veszprém, and Beáta Bérczi, head of Veszprém Tourism Non-profit Ltd. gave detailed information about the public vote at a press conference. They also discussed the opportunities that this recognition has brought for the city.
According to the Mayor, this recognition is a significant milestone. One of Veszprém’s most important strategic objectives is to be among the 20 most liveable cities in Europe by 2030. This recognition will help to make the historic city and the values of its region even more widely known.
In addition, he pointed out that Veszprém has already been placed on the map of top tourist destinations by winning the title of European Capital of Culture. Now, this latest recognition will further help the city to move towards the objective it has set for itself.
About the competition
As the portal reports, the European Best Destinations organisation, which held the vote, was founded to promote European tourism. The organisation was established in 2009 and today operates the largest and most visited tourism portal in Europe. It is therefore not surprising that it is in contact with all European tourism agencies. It has also built up close partnerships with Forbes, Yahoo and National Geographic.
