Karmen Kanyo, Sales Manager at Hunguest Hotels Group – We are ready for business tourists, team building, conferences and seminars
That tourists from Serbia are very important to this group is shown by the fact that Hunguest Hotels once again took part in the Belgrade Tourism Fair, where we talked to Sales Manager Karmen Kanyo.
We were interested to find out what the group offers to its business tourists, as well as those who wish to rest and relax in one of their hotels.
The Hunguest Hotels offer is so diverse that they have facilities with 20 rooms, as well as those with as many as 800 accommodation units. The number of rooms within the group amounts to a total of 3,900.
eKapija: Which countries do most guests come from? How many tourists from Serbia are there?
– Guests from Germany are still the most numerous, followed by those from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Poland. The number of Russians has increased again, and guests from Serbia are in the 8th spot. Last year, we had around 5,000 guests from Serbia. Your market is extremely important to us and we are constantly working on having more and more tourists from Serbia.
eKapija: What was the last year like when it comes to business tourism? Which conferences would you highlight?
eKapija: How do you organize team building sessions? Where can Serbian companies find information about them?
– Guests from Serbia find the team building sessions in our hotels the most interesting. All hotels provide some kind of additional service outside the conference halls. There's a possibility of organizing programs in the aqua-park, the wellness section, the hotel's park, and, of course, we can also organize any type of external program through our animators. The ideal places for team building sessions are wineries, adventure parks, sports courts etc. Information on hotels and programs can be found on our website.
eKapija: Hunguest Grandhotel Galya is located on a mountain. Tell us more about this congress hotel.
– The hotel is located on the Matra, around 1.5 hour's drive away from Budapest. For those looking for fresh air, marvelous surroundings, peace and quiet, Hunguest Grandhotel Galya is the best choice. I would like to highlight the conference hall with a view to the mountain. The hotel is unique for the fact that the park features a jacuzzi with a view to Kekesteto, Hungary's highest peak. An adventure park is located nearby, offering numerous programs for companies.
eKapija: You also have a seaside hotel – Hunguest Hotel Sun Resort in Herceg Novi. What does this hotel offer to business tourists? How satisfied are you with business results?
eKapija: What sets Hungary apart from other countries when it comes to business tourism?
– Nearly all our hotels are directly connected to renowned spas or bathing complexes and therefore offer additional services to all companies. Aside from the business features, they are provided with an opportunity to fully relax. Aside from wellness, there are our world-renowned wineries and our unique fine food.
eKapija: What are the most popular destinations in Hungary when it comes to business tourism?
– The most popular destinations are Budapest, the Balaton area, Szeged, the Gyula spa and the mountains.
