“We love to swim, it looked like it was going to be overcast, but the good time had come, my little boy was also enjoying the pool. We traveled here from almost 300 kilometers, so luckily we managed to hit the right weather – explained Tamás Párkányi.
Some rested in the shade, while others preferred to relax in the pool. Young and old were happy to open the beach.
People were already queuing up at Lángosos, but the terraces of the catering units were also popular.
The owners are already experiencing an increase in traffic and are expecting a good season.
“On such a very strong day, we only issue 800-900 burgers on the beach and half towards the promenade, so we can give out a good thousand burgers,” said Adam Paluska, owner of Meating Burger.
15 pools, a total of 700 square meters of water, 5 water attractions, slides, a sports zone, a children’s world, events and animation programs will keep you entertained.
The director of spa services of Aquaticum Debrecen Kft. Said that they have been looking forward to this season, which they hope will be a full season.
Because of the pandemic, both 2020 and 2021 were fractional seasons. 165 thousand people visited them two years ago, in 2021 they had a turnover of over 170 thousand people. This year, however, they can count on 180-200 thousand people. And they are waiting for seven or six thousand people.
– This is a very fresh beach, but we have the basic quality services, we acquired new equipment this year, we have expanded the number of amenities, the number of four-poster beds, and the beach has made a lot of progress in hospitality, as well as IT developments. In addition to Hungarian, the online ticketing interface is now available in English from this season – explained Tibor Holléry.
On June 30, graduating high school students will once again be able to take possession of the beach, with Lofti Begi performing on the same day, boosting the atmosphere. Young people will continue to be active.
At the opening ceremony, Deputy Mayor Diánles Széles revealed that a call will be launched to find event organizers.
I wish there was a day when only young people could be on the beach, and that would be the way they dreamed.
The Aquaticum Debrecen Beach will also host the 2022 FINA Water Championships in the summer, so a 12-day limit will have to be introduced in mid-June and then around the swimming pool to prepare for the water polo teams.
The director of beach services at the beach said that more than a hundred thematic programs will be prepared during the summer, which will benefit children and adults alike. The Night Baths is expected to feature various events during the summer and with the Vojtina Puppet Theater as well as the Red Cross.
