Gábor Lastzovicza, director general of EFOTT Kft., held a public meeting in Sukor on Monday, September 30, where he revived the beginning of the event: the National Tourism Meeting of University and College Students is one of the most year in September. country, as he said, it started in 1976, so 2026 will be 50 years old. It was originally owned by KISZ, and the programs were always organized elsewhere. After the regime change, a non-governmental organization took over the organization of the event, modeled after a public organization.
– Our mission is to help build and maintain university communities – he said, and he added: – The children who go to university today help, teach and ‘ heal our children. That’s why this mission is important to us.
EFOTT organized nearly 400 daytime programs this year, the executive pointed out, in addition: twenty higher education institutions and nearly forty non-governmental organizations involved themselves in young people as part of the festival, which received 56,000 visitors in 2024. EFOTT covers 37 and a half hectares, including the parking lot, festival area and programs during the day. This is mostly state land under the management of the Water Administration, but they also lease land from the city and private individuals. Gábor Lastzovicza pointed out that free tickets, which have been given to the residents of the lake area for years, will still be available, and he said that the care of the beach area and the coast is continuous, and 95 percent of it is littered generated by recycling.
Many questions were received from the residents of Sukoro, including noise pollution. The managing director explained: they are taking all the steps included in the official regulations, and they are trying to continuously improve the sound technology used at the festival A noise pollution test was not done regarding the center because it is not the same as EFOTT’s programs – Lastztovicza answered a question – so the noise pollution that the festival has there cannot be expected. The noise that could be seen at the event appeared to be a key issue for the people in the meeting, as was the future of the Youth Center and the protection of the natural environment affecting its area. The head of EFOTT said: in cooperation with the people, they are also willing to cooperate with the accredited, official noise load measurement group that they identified. The public, it was said at the forum, would think of more important compensation and higher rent for the phenomena that the people of Sukoró have been suffering for almost a month in connection with programs EFOTT.
