More money for the Bocuse d’Or competition

The government doubled the sum for supporting the Bocuse d’Or chef competition from the central budget: next year the contest’s European final will take place in Budapest and the organisers will get HUF 614.8 million from the state. Zoltán Hamvas, president of the Bocuse d’Or Academy told our magazine that several thousand people will come to Hungary because of the contest in 2016 and treating them in style can significantly raise the prestige of our country. What is more, ICCA’s latest statistics reveal that participants of international programmes like this spend HUF 180,000 a day on average.
