He said, he never had a few complaints from the members as he heard in Budapest and the few of them were minor problems, mostly in scheduling. Many of the delegates never had been in Hungary before. They were very plesed by the warm hospitality of the Hungarian people, the animated life and the magic of Budapest. On the negative side, Fisher pointed out, the mistake of having only Hungarian texts on the objects in the museums. “You have superb museums, for example the Shepherd Museum in Bugac, but you should not expect that tourists will learn Hungarian to be able to read the scripts on the exhibits”. Fisher was questioned, what could we do to attract more American tourists? “First of all” Fisher said, “you have to improve the promotion of your national values. Hungary has many attractive features: The kindliness and openness of the people, the historical atmosphere of the towns, the romanticism of the puszta, the health-spas, the relatively inexpensive life, the good hotels, the excellent food and outstanding public safety.” According to Fisher, on of the greatest success of the convention was in the field of intercontinental communication. “One of our members was able, at the first time, to establish direct communication from Europe to the United States via satellite, through the “data line” using a common telephone. The Hungarian Postal Service deserves an A-plus. The journalist, in the hotel using his pocket-computer was NBN—106 FM/SCA — Cleveland, O. Monday through Friday: 11 AM to 12 Noon.
