More than 1.2 billion forints worth of tourism development in Bács-Kiskun
More than 1.2 billion forints can be spent on tourism developments in Bács-Kiskun County from the European Union’s Territorial and Settlement Development Operational Programme (TOP) Plus, the chairman of the county government informed MTI.
Norbert Vedelek (Fidesz-KDNP) said: the new developments will make the region more livable, improve the quality of services, and contribute to the revitalization of the local economy. The projects that are now being launched will connect the natural and cultural values of the county, create a modern and sustainable tourism infrastructure, while making Bács-Kiskun tourism more competitive in the long term, he said.
In order to strengthen the region’s wine tourism and active tourism, a five-kilometer-long bicycle path is being built between Császártöltés and Hajós-Pincefalu at a cost of approximately 646 million forints. The new route runs through the Hajós meadow and loess banks nature reserve, which is protected by the Dél-Őrjeg NATURA 2000, giving hikers and cyclists the opportunity to explore the special natural features of the region.
The development fits organically into the existing tourist infrastructure, as a bicycle path already connects Hajós-Pincefalu with the city center, where the Hajós Archbishop’s Castle is also located. With the construction of the new section, the county’s bicycle path network will be significantly expanded, and further sections are expected to be implemented in the future, he added.
In addition to the expansion of the bicycle path network, the region’s wine tourism center, Hajós-Pincefalu, will also be further developed. The project will open the cellar system under the Cabernet Visitor Center, which will offer a unique experience to wine lovers and tourists.
During the developments, event venues will be renovated, an interactive tourism application will be created, and modern technical equipment will be acquired so that cultural and gastronomic events can take place in an even higher-quality environment, he explained.
