Written by BT/MTI

Liget Budapest Project, a cultural development in the capital’s City Park, was acknowledged as “Best Tourism Development Project” and “Best Family-Friendly Development in Europe” at the International Travel Awards ceremony in Dubai on Saturday, Benedek Gyorgyevics, who heads the Liget project company, said.

The House of Music Hungary, one of the elements of the project, was also recognised as “Most Attractive Tourism Destination in Europe,” Gyorgyevics said.

With foreign visitor numbers on the rise at the House of Music Hungary, the Museum of Ethnography and the BalloonFly hot air balloon attraction, Liget Budapest is now “on the international tourism map”, he added.

In the long term, the goal is to make the project a “must-see” attraction and a reason for longer stays in the capital, he said.
