Covid crisis – reviewDuring the covid crisis we at OTP Travel reviewed our current services which include leisure tourist groups, FIT programs and incentive trips in Budapest and neighbouring countries and tried to adapt to the new situation of the tourism market.
We estimate that after the crisis there will be a special demand for short term and more tailor made programs and tours. Therefore, besides our existing offer we included more small scale providers for examples from countryside such as unique attractions or special accommodations (not just big hotels but also apartments and family owned pensions). I can mention here forms like rural tourism, active tourism in the nature, thematic tours such as gastronomic and cultural routes. These will be available soon on our website.
Concerning our MICE and incentive services health and security is now priority. As we have local and direct contact to the hotels, event venues and restaurants we can ensure that your Clients’ expectations are fully satisfied with very high standards.
We are very optimistic and we hope that after the borders will be opened again without any restrictions we can welcome you in Hungary.
Take care of each otherThe Hungarian Tourism Agency (MTÜ) made an unusual tourism campaign film in which a hungarian song “I will come back” (Visszajövök from Bagossy Brothers band) can be heard. With this video the Agency is sending a message to Hungary that no one should give up hope, because together we will get successfully through the current difficult situation and set off again for the wonderful domestic destinations, but now the most important thing is to take care of each other.
