The heroes’ trials held in the region’s castles remain popular – announced Hegyi Zsuzsa, South Transdanubian Regional Marketing Manager of the Hungarian National Tourist Office at a press conference on Tuesday in Pécs.

Hegyi Zsuzsa called year 2011 dramatic. She said, that a nearly 20 percent drop occurred in 2011 in guest traffic in the region. She believes that the main cause was the lack of resources.
