Ft 600 million spa complex opens in Southwest Hungary

By

Hungary’s Toma Bau has inaugurated a more than HUF 600m spa and swimming pool at the Martfu Health and Recreation Centre in southeast Hungary, bringing the company’s total investments at the centre to more than HUF 1.5bn, Toma Bau CEO Laszlo Tomasovszky told MTI.

Toma Bau was awarded a HUF 5m grant for the HUF 600m project, and it paid the rest with its own resources, Mr Tomasovszky said. The company has won grants of about HUF 300m for the HUF 1.5bn in developments at the centre over the past five years, he added.

The more than thousand-square-metre spa and swimming pool will serve a nearby hotel built two years earlier.

    Toma Bau is not even a Hungarian word, or two words, so how can the company be Hungarian? I smell a rat. Now they are evn charging for water? How tragic.

    Anon, you are out to lunch if you really think so, Buddy. REAL Hungarian companies existed in Hungary until the very early 1990s only. These days, they are ALL foreign-owned to some extent, so you may have the paradox of a ‘Hungarian’ company that is in fact 100% foreign owned. Veddy ‘magyar’ indeed.

    The two ‘growth sectors’ still left in Hungary seem to be these hypermarket-sized monster spas built mostly for the well-heeled, euro-carrying crowd, and five-star, six-star, and hell even knows how many star “luxury” hotels built for anybody — except normal Hungarians.
