    2007 Annual Report “Be The Best You Can Be” U13 Tulis Boys Light Up Scandinavian Fields The Tulis U-13 boys’ hard work and team effort paid off this past summer as they brought home both the Gold and Bronze awards from the Dana Cup “A” tournament in Frederikshavn, Denmark and the Gothia Cup in Goth- enburg, Sweden. The win at the Dana Cup event marked the first time ever that a Tulis boys team and, in fact, any Canadian team, had won gold at this prestigious youth tournament. During the first week at the Dana Cup in Denmark, the boys dominated play with intelligent and creative football, often maintaining possession for long periods of time. When the ball was lost, the team defended with ferocious tenacity and permitted very few goal scoring opportunities despite the physical aggressiveness of their oppo- nents. They completed the round robin play with a 3-0 record and 8 goals for and none against.

  • Regional Types of Tourism in Hungary
    István Tózsa – Anita Zátori (eds.) Department of Economic Geography and Futures Studies, Corvinus University of Budapest Metropolitan Tourism Experience Development Selected studies from the Tourism Network Workshop of the Regional Studies Association, held in Budapest, Hungary, 2015 Edited by István Tózsa and Anita Zátori Read by Catherine R. Feuerverger Cover by László Jeney ISBN: 978-963-503-597-7 Published by the Department of Economic Geography and Futures Study 2015 1 2 Introduction On January 28-30, 2015 Corvinus University of Budapest hosted the latest workshop of the Regional Studies Association’s Tourism Research Network. The event had been held previously in Izmir, Aalborg, Warsaw, Östersund, Antalya, Leeds and Vila-seca Catalonia. The aim of the RSA research network is to examine tourism diversity from the perspective of regional development in order to identify current challenges and opportunities in a systematic manner, and hence provide the basis for a more well-informed integration of tourism in regional development strategies and move beyond political short-termism and buzzword fascination. In the frame of the network a series of workshops have been organised from various topics of destination management till rural tourism. In the age of budget airlines and increased mobility, the importance for metropolitan areas of positioning themselves in an increasingly competitive environment where the boundaries between international tourism and local leisure are becoming blurred, has increased. Metropolitan areas are highly preferred targets for tourists owing to their diversified and concentrated attractions particularly cultural heritages and up-to-date events as well as to their business environment. They are the focal points of tourism in a lot of regions and countries.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Real estate purchase in Kőbánya and development opportunities for Appeninn Budapest, March 9, 2017 – Appeninn purchased another real estate, this time in the Kőbánya district of Budapest, giving way to the realization of a significant property development project. Together with the area belonging to the purchased real estate, the company now owns an 8711 square meters office building situated on a 4029 square meters land in an exclusive area of the 10th district of Budapest. The aggregation of real estates located in one block creates an excellent opportunity for new investments, possibly even for building a residential property. Appeninn Nyrt. has carried out an important transaction regarding its property in Kőbánya by purchasing the company (Estate Pest Office Kft., 4025 Debrecen, Arany János utca 55., registry ID: 09-09-006270) owning the almost 1000 square meters land adjoining its existing, 3029 square meters property. The now purchased real estate is located in the middle of the area already owned by Appeninn; thus, a 4000 square meters connected land has been created as a result of the transaction, which provides an excellent opportunity for the company for a development project in the central part of Kőbánya. At present, the Szent László Téri Szolgáltató Ház is situated on the two sites, with a total area of 8711 square meters and an occupancy rate of almost 90%, but Appeninn is looking into the possibility of realizing a residential property investment via the aggregation of the two real estates. Appeninn Nyrt., listed in the Budapest Stock Exchange in the Premium category, purchased the company owning the land for HUF 136.5 million, which was paid fully with its own shares, on a HUF 220 rate per share.

II, nr 1, s. 47–63 http://dx.doi.org/10.16926/sit.2019.02.03 Miroslav BOBRÍK * Physical Education and Sport in Slovakia after the Establishment of Czechoslovakia (1918–1924) Abstract Creation of the Czecho-Slovak Republic after the WWI, in 1918, was a milestone also in the development of physical education and sport in Slovakia. New Czecho-Slovak government tried, within the new constitutional conditions, to enforce the Czechoslovak character of the state and to withhold the Hungarian influence in individual towns. Following its multi-national, multi-cultural and multi-confessional history, Slovakia had to get over long-time Hungarian wrongdoing and Hungarization also in the area of sport. Before 1918, the Hungarian and partially also German sport clubs prevailed and any efforts to establish Slovak sport clubs were more platonic than realistic. However, the conditions and circumstances changed and were adapted to the new state layout after 1918. Because of the tense military-political situation at the Czech borders and in Slovakia during 1918–1920, arrival of the Czech and also German sport organizations was postponed until 1921. The Sokol (Falcon) organization started to organize its advertising tours in Slovakia in 1921. Sim- ilarly, the German organizations DTV came to Bratislava in 1921 and to Spiš in 1922. In 1920, the Sokol organization had 93 units with 18 494 members, the RTJ organization had 31 units with 4139 members and the Orol (Eagle) organization had 149 units with 15 772 members.
