Levente Szalai, Hungexpo “Changes in terms of content”

– What were your ideas when starting to organise Hoventa on your own? – We set up a different concept than the one used before, a part of which was involving the suppliers of hotels and using multinational synergies to make the event the region’s leading hotel and catering trade fair. We will have to show something new to the representatives of the hotel industry and the culinary sector.

– How exhibitor and visitor acquisition will be different this year? – During the acquisition process our goal was to open the event to the hotel industry in as many ways as possible.

– What was your concept in choosing and organising the accompanying events? – When compiling the programme we tried to offer something new to all segments. We significantly expanded our group of professionals partners, for instance with the National Association of Interior Designers and the Hungarian Furniture and Wood Industry Association. Throughout the year we have been keeping in touch with our partners, discussing trends and directions.
