45th International Tourism Fair
The Subotica Half Marathon presented itself at the 45th International Tourism Fair
At the 45th International Tourism Fair, held from 23 to 25 February in Belgrade, the Subotica Half Marathon also presented itself at the stand of the Tourist Organisation of the City of Subotica, a sporting event that year after year records growing interest from participants from Serbia and abroad, which has made it a true representative of our city’s tourist offer.
As Aleksandra Orlić, PR of the Subotica Half Marathon, pointed out, since Subotica this year bears the title of European Capital of Sport and the half marathon is the largest international sporting event in our city, in which around two thousand people of the most varied generations from numerous countries take part every year, it is no surprise that competitors keep placing their trust in it. “The Fair is, as always, a good opportunity to present our Race to Serbia and the world in a creative and interactive way. There was great interest among the visitors to the Fair, so in just a few hours we made new friends, partners and, we hope, many marathon runners whom we will see on 25 August on the well-known running course along the streets of Subotica. At the same time, we will then showcase in a unique way the best of Subotica, from the sporting spirit to nurturing and preserving the tradition, culture and history of northern Bačka.”
The sports laboratory “STLab” from Subotica also presented itself to those at the Fair, carrying out body composition assessments for those interested with the “Inbody 270” device. “People’s interest was great, and we tried to devote time to each of them, as well as to analysing the results. We are extremely pleased with the visitors’ response, and with the fact that together with our sporting friends from the Subotica Half Marathon we are promoting sport in the best way,” pointed out Siniša Repija from STLab.
The Tourist Organisation of the City of Subotica took part in the 45th International Tourism Fair again this year, providing a rich programme for all visitors at its stand during all four days. “On the first day visitors had the chance to taste wines from our well-known wineries Zvonko Bogdan and Tonković, and then to get to know the Elitte Palić restaurants. The Zoo had its promotions every day, very successfully presenting its potential, and at the Tourist Organisation’s stand the ‘Dužijanca’, the ‘Klinocki’ winery, the Subotica Half Marathon, the Young Rakija Festival, the ‘Pogačijada’ Festival and many others also had the chance to promote themselves and contributed to the successful presentation of Subotica, Palić and the surroundings,” the Tourist Organisation of Subotica stresses.
