Central Europe is known for its uniqueness, ranging from historical buildings to nature and culture. Many tourist destinations have been designated by UNESCO as world heritage.

Now, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary, known as the Visegrád Group or V4, held promotions to invite tourists from Indonesia to visit countries in the "Central Europe" region.

Through the Discover Central Europe program, V4 which is also known as the "European Quartet", has the same roots of tradition, civilization, and culture so that these four countries have a spirit of togetherness to promote their uniqueness together.

For this reason, Discover Central Europe held its first event with the concept of a B2B partner, presenting 10 sellers from V4 and buyers from as many as 70 companies from Indonesia, at the Westin Hotel Jakarta, on October 17, 2022. The B2B partner activity brought together various companies, including travel agents, DMCs, hotels, and airlines.

Deputy Marketing Director of the Polish Tourism Organization Artur Pielaszek explained that this B2B event aims to establish brand awareness and market interest in tourism in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

"The Central European region is a safe tourist destination. Tourists can visit one country to another in the V4 country alliance, thanks to the close distance and good transportation access," he said.

Each V4 member country has its own uniqueness in the fields of architecture, art, religion, folklore, and tradition, or nature.
