CAS hosted EFCO & HPA General Assembly meeting in hotel Majestic, Belgrade, from 19-21 March 2009.

European camping associations gathered in Belgrade to discuss major camping industry issues.

As always, the topics covered standards and law regulations in camping and holiday park services, as well as camping cards, best practice and experience exchange as well as education in camping.

All participants expressed great pleasure for being in Belgrade for the first time and was satisfied by the quality of the programme and organization of this meeting. Representatives of European camping industries had an opportunity to cruise on Danube and to experience Serbian enogastronomic evening.

We would like to use this opportunity to thank to all those who help us to organize this meeting, and special thanks to the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development, USAID (through COMPETE program), Tourist organization of Serbia and Serbian Convention Bureau, as well as to the Tourist Organization of Belgrade.

We can proudly say we were good hosts and we convinced our European colleagues in the future of Serbia as a new camping and tourist destination in general.

The next GA meeting will be in Copenhagen in October 2009.
