A novelty was the Children's World, which welcomed even the smallest visitors. The Trenčín Region was also represented at the exhibition through the stand of the Regional Tourism Organization (KOCR) Trenčín Region.

I firmly believe that in a few years this pilot project will bring a new golden generation of boys hockey players, ”said Jaroslav Baška, the mayor of Trenčín.

Events in support of tourism, such as the Region Tour Expo, are also implemented thanks to the Ministry of Transport and Construction of the Slovak Republic (MDV SR): “In recent years, the ministry has managed to implement several measures to develop tourism in Slovakia. The most important tool that Czechs or Hungarians can envy us is the support of destination management, thanks to which individual KOCRs and OOCRs can request financial support for various events. Currently, the amount of 6 million euros has been approved for 2019, which can be divided into such events as the Region Tour Expo, " said Zoltán Kovács , General Director of the Tourism Section of the ICE SR.
