The World Hunting Expo heading to Hungary in 2021 is expected to draw more than one million visitors to the country, says State Secretary Zoltán Kovács.
Kovács, also the government commissioner responsible for the event, expects the visitors to descend upon Budapest and four other locations across Hungary next year.
At the opening ceremony of the Jagd and Hund 2020 in Dortmund, Kovács announced that the organization of the World Hunting Expo is already underway and preparations are going according to schedule.
According to MTI, he revealed that the center of the events would be the international hunting exhibition at Budapest’s Hungexpo Fair Center. A number of other exhibitions, conferences and events will also accompany this three-week-long exhibition. Fish, game gastronomy, and related wines will also play an important role at the events.
The state secretary also said 6-7 billion forints (EUR 17,779,000-20,742,000) has been spent on the preparations so far, adding that the central theme of the Budapest event would be to raise awareness on the importance of nature conservation and sustainability.
Kovács noted that international partners, governments, and professional partners will be invited to the World Hunting Expo in 2021 to experience what Budapest and wider Hungary has to offer.
