Busós become a global heritage

The busó festivities, the traditional spring-welcoming ceremony in Mohács held at the end of the carnival season, was inscribed into the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO last week.

In order to promote the busó festivities, the Hungarian National Tourist Office has already given special focus to this traditional event, busos can be seen on one of the posters of the Year of Cultural Tourism and a special guerrilla-marketing campaign was also dedicated to the famous Mohács festival earlier this year. What is more, the busó festivities are also a popular theme for journalist fam trips organised to Hungary.
