Abstract

ABSTRACT Before the First World War, Pécs, one of the most dynamically developing Hungarian cities, was the largest in the region of Transdanubia. The losses of the world war and the subsequent three-year Serbian occupation caused considerable damage to the city’s economic and social fabric. Besides presenting the economic background of Pécs, the current study also discusses the local boom in tourism, which was developing at a rapid clip in the 1930s. Recognizing the economic role of tourism, local leaders started to develop the sector, establishing the Tourism Committee and Tourism Office in 1933. An enticing promotion campaign was launched, accompanied by conscious product development, focusing primarily on cultural and ecotourism. The tourism product featured local heritage and the natural beauties of the Mecsek mountain range. A high standard characterised the design of venues, including accommodation and restaurants. New transit hubs were established: direct airline connections were inaugurated to Budapest and Kaposvár and a rail connection to Vienna opened. In making urban development decisions, factors taken into account included the needs of tourism, embracing such still fashionable activities as the integration of local products into the tourism supply. The developments of the 1930s have an impact even on the contemporary tourism of the city.

20世纪30年代匈牙利区域中心的创新旅游发展
摘要:第一次世界大战前,佩茨是匈牙利发展最具活力的城市之一,也是跨多瑙河地区最大的城市。第二次世界大战的损失和随后塞尔维亚三年的占领对该市的经济和社会结构造成了相当大的破坏。除了介绍佩茨的经济背景外,本研究还讨论了当地旅游业的繁荣,旅游业在20世纪30年代迅速发展。认识到旅游业的经济作用,当地领导人开始发展旅游业,于1933年成立了旅游委员会和旅游办公室。发起了一场诱人的促销活动,同时有意识地开发产品,主要侧重于文化和生态旅游。旅游产品以当地遗产和梅塞克山脉的自然美景为特色。高标准的场馆设计,包括住宿和餐厅。建立了新的交通枢纽:开通了通往布达佩斯和卡波斯瓦尔的直达航空线路,开通了通往维也纳的铁路线路。在做出城市发展决策时,考虑到的因素包括旅游业的需求,包括将当地产品融入旅游供应等仍然时尚的活动。20世纪30年代的发展甚至对该市的当代旅游业产生了影响。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Tourism History is the primary venue for peer-reviewed scholarship covering all aspects of the evolution of tourism from earliest times to the postwar world. Articles address all regions of the globe and often adopt interdisciplinary approaches for exploring the past. The Journal of Tourism History is particularly (though not exclusively) interested in promoting the study of areas and subjects underrepresented in current scholarship, work for example examining the history of tourism in Asia and Africa, as well as developments that took place before the nineteenth century. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, Journal of Tourism History also features short articles about particularly useful archival collections, book reviews, review essays, and round table discussions that explore developing areas of tourism scholarship. The Editorial Board hopes that these additions will prompt further exploration of issues such as the vectors along which tourism spread, the evolution of specific types of ‘niche’ tourism, and the intersections of tourism history with the environment, medicine, politics, and more.
