Online gastrotourism guide and tourism magazine. The authentic compass, now in your hand! Download the app, go and discover the treasures of Hungary! Hello Hungary is a truly gap-filling initiative in the field of lifestyle multimedia platforms. Its main pillars: 1. An interactive map – i.e. a gastro-tourism guide – which guides the user to the most popular, selected gastro-tourism attractions in the region, whether they feel like drinking coffee, wine or eating. 2. An event calendar that lists many events, be it a festival, cultural or gastronomic program. 3. An online tourist magazine full of novelties, which entertains and informs with exciting, constantly updated content. If the user likes an article, he can mark it as a favorite, so he can easily find it at any time. All this is available not only in the form of an application, but also as a responsive website, and can also be followed in Social Media. The gastrotourism guide is a practical compass thanks to its map visualization, on which the data sheets of hundreds of attractions relevant to gastrotourism (e.g. restaurants, wineries, cafes, pastry shops, farms, manufactories) are displayed, with a national spectrum outside of Budapest. A complex filter system listing a number of aspects has been installed on the interface, which, in addition to the B2B partner site, enables B2C login and can also provide users with a demand-tailored supply offer. Packed with up-to-date and useful information and functions (e.g.: route planning, quick call, reservation), illustrated with photos, it provides an authentic picture of destinations that are also attractive from a tourist point of view. The backbone of the content of the online magazine is readable articles, which can now be listened to on Spotify, as well as recent news and engaging video content. Recommending the active, gastronomic and cultural tourist destinations of the destinations to the attention of visitors, especially those that can be visited by families and sustainable business models. The event calendar builds on attractive rural events, be it concerts, festivals or sporting events. In addition to the popular destinations, the portal also tries to present the "hidden" destinations and sights, by including the natural and cultural treasures assessed by the editors in top lists, as if giving secret tips to those who want to travel. The videos and VR content presenting the regions, as well as the Facebook and Instagram pages of the portal, also have narration that encourages domestic travel. The main pillars mentioned above are connected on several lines. Next to the guide's gastrotourism destinations, events, hiking routes, cultural and other tourist attractions selected from the magazine's contents are recommended, and gastrotourism locations are also linked to the magazine's articles. Aspects such as barrier-free, family-friendly, or bike- and dog-friendly features also play a prominent role in the content. The contents of Hello Hungary are also available in English, enabling both expats living in Hungary and visiting tourists to obtain easy, targeted information.
