Global trends should be understood and used to prepare a new and modern industrial development plan for Hungary that leads into success – sets Várhelyi Tamás, Director of the Innovation Tourism Knowledge Center and Ruszinkó Ádám, President of the Hungarian Health Tourism Marketing Association (MEME).

Várhelyi Tamás told at a press conference in Budapest on Friday, that on the basis of traditions and talent, health tourism can be recognized as the driving force of tourism in Hungary, but despite the declarations, strategies and developments, Hungary could not get closer to the world standards. The Global trends should be understood and used to prepare a new and modern industrial development plan for Hungary that leads into success and what is now at the beginning of the EU's third national development plan preparation would be particularly relevant – he stressed.
