Bollywood movies have helped Hungarian tourism: The Pioneer
New Delhi, Nov 04: Marta Schneider, deputy state secretary, Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Hungary
It is a great joy to know we have a representative body aiding us in the enhancing and spreading of Hungary's cultural heritage in India. We expect a similar response and cooperation in the future.
How many Indian tourists does Hungary get each year?
I can't give out an exact figure but we certainly have a number of tourists coming in each year. Tourism was not all that well developed earlier but Bollywood movies shot in Hungary have opened out the industry.
What do you like most about India?
I certainly appreciate the hospitality and the people's friendly nature. The other thing which interested me was the Indian response to Hungarian art and culture.
What are the trade prospects between the two countries?
India is certainly a golden opportunity for us. We would like to extend cultural relations into something more economic. His Excellency the Prime Minister of Hungary has come to India to explore trade prospects.
