Targi w Krakowie Sp. z o.o. has been honoured with the prestigious Honoris Gratia badge, awarded by the Mayor of the City of Kraków to individuals, institutions and organisations that have rendered outstanding service to the capital of Małopolska. The distinction is an expression of recognition for the 30 years of work by Targi w Krakowie to develop and promote Kraków and build its image.
During the Forum Turystyki (Tourism Forum) in Kraków, the badge was received from Stanisław Mazur, Deputy Mayor of the City of Kraków, by Ewa Woch, President of Targi w Krakowie, and Paweł Nikliński, Vice-President of Targi w Krakowie. Explaining the award, the Deputy Mayor emphasised the significant contribution of Targi w Krakowie to the economic, social and promotional development of the city, and the company’s role in strengthening Kraków’s position as a modern, open and attractive business centre.
“The work of Targi w Krakowie has made a lasting contribution to promoting Kraków as a modern, dynamic and investor-friendly city. The events it organises reach beyond the city and the region in their standing and impact, strengthening Kraków’s recognition in Poland and abroad,” Stanisław Mazur emphasised during the ceremony.
In his speech, the Deputy Mayor of the City of Kraków also drew attention to the company’s more than 30 years of uninterrupted work for the Kraków community and its consistent creation of space for dialogue, the development of industries and the integration of business, academic and cultural circles.
“This is a great honour for us and an extremely moving distinction. For 30 years we have felt part of Kraków’s tourism community and we want to continue to play an active part in its development. We are delighted that the City has recognised three decades of our work – demanding, but bringing real results and successes in promoting Kraków. It is a source of pride for the entire Targi w Krakowie team. The badge motivates us to keep developing and creating events that strengthen Kraków’s position as an important meeting place for business, culture and tourism,” said Ewa Woch, President of Targi w Krakowie.
