In addition to agriculture, the concept considers tourism as breakthrough point.

The development plan emphasizes that the number of touristical opportunities in the region is high. However, these values, such as the natural environment or bathing areas, could be better utilized. There is also a lack of coordinated, complex tourism supply and self-image. The few number of accommodations cause further problems.

One of the main development goals of the tourism development strategy is to improve the situation of family farms. These farms are supposed to strengthen regional tourism by distributing local products and offering accommodations.

The development strategy prepared by HETFA was reported in more detail by Zaols, Népújság and RTV 4.

The evaluation was conducted between July 2012 and March 2013. The evaluation formulated suggestions regarding development policy, including the measures of the 2007-2013 period and upcoming programming period 2014-2020 as well. The scope of the evaluation covers the development of organisations of touristic attractions, accommodation, touristic destination management (TDM), which were realised in the framework of the Regional Operational Programmes (ROPs) between 2007 and 2011. The evaluation was carried out in three dimensions: at national level and through two case studies representing the development of the Balaton Highlighted Holiday Region and that of a particular touristic sector, the health tourism in Eastern Hungary.
