The Hungarian delegation included owners of reputable companies,
concerns and media, actors and artists who had the chance to become
acquainted with Croatia's customs and tourist offer.
British Columbia Company director Laszlo Dinya has said he could have
staged the regatta anywhere in the world but chose Croatia because of
its unique geographical position, the beauty of its coast, perfect
sailing conditions, and the huge and as yet unexploited possibility of
economic cooperation between Hungary and Croatia.
The head of the Croatian National Tourist Board office in Hungary,
Marin Skenderovic, has said Hungary, which joined the European Union
on Saturday, is Croatia's sixth largest tourist generating market.
According to official data, 360,000 Hungarians vacationed in Croatia
last year, accounting for 1.9 million overnights.
Skenderovic has stressed the need of developing the increasingly
popular boating tourism.
