Executive meeting kits

Hungarian and EU context

MICE programme hand-overs in Hungarian hotels follow hotel CSR rules and Hungarian labour regulations. At hand-over, Hungarian hotel practice holds the hotel responsible for the integrity of the packaging but not the contents. SZÉP card acceptance is permitted for hotel restaurant consumption. HUNGEXPO, Millenáris, BCC and other venues use different protocols.

Lead time

MICE programme turnaround is 4-10 weeks from order to on-site hand-over. International pack delivery is governed by customs, typically 5-10 business days.

Delivery and hand-over

Delivery and hand-over coordination is the final and one of the most critical steps of the project. Domestically GLS, MPL, DPD, Foxpost and Packeta couriers deliver within 1-3 business days, and package tracking is available in real time. For international shipping, 5-10 business day transit is expected depending on the destination country, and customs handling follows destination rules (free movement within the EU, customs declaration outside the EU). For MICE programmes on-site hand-over happens during the HUNGEXPO, Millenáris, BCC and other Hungarian venue build-up windows, and hotel hand-over requires a pre-arranged receiving window and a named receiver. For courier packages the carrier is responsible for damage-complimentary delivery under Hungarian consumer protection rules, but content integrity depends on packaging method and transport conditions. Coordination fee (on-site delivery, hotel hand-over, customs) is typically HUF 50,000-200,000 + VAT per programme and is recorded in the brief.
