Hungary in the footsteps of
Deaf Nation’s traveler Joel Barish
In May 2012 Deaf Nation chose Hungary as one of their destinations to discover. They came to
explore Budapest and the countryside and to indulge in the life of the Hungarian deaf society. With
the support and contribution of the Hungarian National Tourism Office, the Hungarian Association
of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, as well as several tourism service providers, an excellent program
awaited our visitors.
