We have a winner!
During the World Routes conference, visitors to Budapest Airport’s stand could learn about Hungary not just by tasting the finest Hungarian food and drinks, but those who dropped their business card into a collection box participated in a prize draw, where the main prize was a three-day trip to the Hungarian capital. The prize was offered jointly by Budapest Airport and the Hungarian National Tourism Organization, and it was handed over to the winner, Ms. Irina Belyushina, Head of Network Development at Rossiya Airlines by Kam Jandu, director aviation for Budapest Airport and Lajos Palkó, advisor to the CEO at HNTO, on the last day of the conference.
