Chosen by the Travel Writers Hungary hosts the SATW Convention “/ am delighted we have chosen Hungary as the venue of this year’s convention, ” said Robert C. Ficher, President of SATW, the prestigious Society of American Travel Writers, when attend­ing the mid-October, 29th SATW gathering in Budapest. The venue was chosen after an initiative by the Hun­garian Tourism Board. For the 350 delegates who attended, the sessions were complemented with study tours to numerous tourist targets around Hungary, including the Bugac Puszta, the picturesque towns of Sopron and Kőszeg along Hungary's western borders, and of course the Lake Balaton region. Mr Fisher’s impromptu assessment: "We are fully satisfied with the service at the Duna Inter-Continental and Forum hotels, with the bustling life of Budapest, the hospitable people and their openness. ” Márton Lengyel, Deputy Manager Director of the Hungarian Tourism Board stressed, “This convention has been a major stage in our big campaign to supplement the highly important incoming tourism from Austria and West Germany, which can be develop­ed further, by attracting more tourists from elsewhere in Europe. This requires a more effective Hungarian presence on the American travel market. The SATW convention can do a lot in that respect. ” DIPLOMA FOR THE FORUM: “European Hotel of the Year” What a pleasant surprise for HungarHotels representatives at the World Travel Market in Lon­don last December to be handed a diploma that said the Budapest Forum Hotel has been chosen as “European Hotel of the Year” by Travel Check, the Benelux buyers’ guide to business travel, conferences and incentives. Travel Check explained “Our small staff travelled some 65,000 km to check out designations around the world, after which we nominat­ed our own winners. It was a hard choice to make, because hotels differ so greatly. We were looking for a first class hotel that caters for the business visitor. ” And their choice for first-class service from check-in to check-out was the Budapest Forum. The Hotel Forum opened three years ago and has so far welcomed 130,000 guests. Occupancy rates have steadily risen to over 77 pc. Most guests come from West Ger­many and Austria, but in the past couple of years a substantial num­ber have come from the US as well. The Grand Gypsy Band Leaders Ball With the carnival season at its peak last March and dozens of elegant balls taking place all over the country, the climax, perhaps, was the Gypsy Band Leaders' Ball at the Hotel Duna Inter­Continental. Glittering jewels, superb evening dresses and fiery music were the main ingredi­ents. As for the last, leaders of all the Gypsy band leaders’ in HungarHotels hotels were on parade. The income from the balls (there were two, both at the “Inter"), were donated towards the new National Theatre planned for Budapest. The mood was at its peak at the table where noted Hungarian actress Hilda Gobbi (prime mover behind the Na­tional Theatre scheme) heard one of fine songs played to her by Gypsy band leader Antal Lakatos.

NewYork— 7— ________New Orleans, _ H ungarian Culinary Weeks in ’85 nOUStOIl Three prestigious US hotels, the Inter- Continentals in New York, New Orleans and Houston, are going Hungarian early this year. Hungarian culinary weeks began on January 22 at the three hotels in succession. A Hungarian team of award-winning chefs, pastry cooks and Gypsy musici­ans from Budapest’s Hotel Duna Inter-Continental are staging the events. The team has already had vast experience of organizing Hungarian culinary weeks in 23 other Inter-Conti­nental hotels in such diverse locations as Caracas, London, Tokyo, Bombay, Frankfurt, Rio and Athens. This ven­ture, in cooperation with Pan Am, is their first in the United States, however. Preparations were made with minute precision. Even the menus to be ser­ved at the various locations were pre­pared well in advance. The Hungarian contingent includes executive chef Gyula Gullner, a member of the Club of Chef des Chefs, and a gold medallist at the recent Frankfurt Culinary Olympics. j Bus luxury to Budapest HungarHotels does deal with Dutch travel agency Over 200 luxury buses, bearing the Stella Sonnen Express Reizen label and equipped with kitchen, multi-channel TV and other facilities, have been bring­ing Dutch tourists to Hungary in style for the past few months. Managing Director Philip Warns, of the Eindhoven-based agency, signed a long-term agreement with Hungar­Hotels President Dr. Gyula Gyökössy on June 11, 1984, whereby Stella has brought 2,000 guests to Hungary this year, plus a group of 600 for Christmas and the New Year. Next year, Stella plans to bring double the number of holidaymakers to the 3-star Budapest Hotel. HungarHotels earlier signed contracts on a similar scale with Austria’s Penta Tours, Isaria Reisen of Munich, and Astro Reisen of Hanover.

RECORD TRADE PRESENCE, RECORD PUBLIC INTEREST ‘Travel ’84’ - a red-letter date in mid-March HUNGARIAN Minister for Internal Trade, Dr. Zoltán Juhár, shortly after opening “Travel ’84”, visits the HungarHotels pavilion and shakes hands with public relations manager Miss Beáta Payer. On his right, with a beard, is László Körösvölgyi, Hungexpo’s managing Director, Dr. Gyula Gyökössy, HungarHotels’ President, Dr. István Endrényi, HungarHotels’ Marketing Director, and Maya Decker, head of HungarHotels Tourist Service Bureau. Tens of thousands of spectators flocked day by day to Budapest’s vast exhibi­tion grounds last March to see the dis­plays at “Travel ’84” - a major fair and exhibition coinciding with the annual Budapest Spring Festival. With 130 travel-trade exhibitors pre­sent, from countries ranging from Brazil to the Soviet Union and includ­ing, of course, Hungary’s mushroom­ing number of travel bureaux, there were bargain holidays to be had to almost any destination. At least as attractive were the on-the- spot sales stands of many Hungarian department stores, where holiday­makers, do-it-yourself addicts and motorists found the long-dreamed-for items at inexpensive prices. There was plenty of spectacle too - a veteran car rally, an air balloon show, and non-stop live pop.
