The basic goal of the Castle is to exploit — further — tourism, create the conditions for sustainability, preserve and restore its cultural values, create an independent tourist attraction, provide unique, innovative tourist services for foreign and Hungarian visitors, and provide business opportunities for collaborative SME partners.
