Dear 8th Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon
participants,
With the deepest regret we inform you that because of the massive spread of the corona virus epidemic and because its effects we are forced to postpone the 8th Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon. (The original date was 27-29 March 2020)
The new Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon date is
in the next year: 26-28 March 2021.
All confirmed registrations are valid for the postponed Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon. The venue, the catering, and all the other conditions will be the same. (Some DJs might change.) During the next two days we will inform every confirmed participants about the postponement by email, too.
Details:
During the last week we learned that the corona virus started to spread in many European countries also, at first in Italy, later in other West-European countries and in the USA, and that's why day by day many international and local tango events were postponed or cancelled in Europe. In addition during the last week day by day more and more participants wrote us that they will not able to come to the 8th Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon, because they cannot travel from their country, or their flight was cancelled, or in this situation they are afraid to participate on an international tango event, or they have to go to quarantine after they return home from abroad. We understood that it is a vis maior situation.
We also started to worry about that it could be possible that someone will infected during the Marathon, or bring home an infection to her or his loved ones, especially after some infections confirmed on an Italian encuentro at the end of February. Also we started to worry about that if there is an infection found during the Marathon, all participants of the Marathon could be quarantined by the Hungarian authorities for two weeks right away. Also some of our DJs and some members of our helper team started to worry.
So a few days ago we started to negotiate with the owners of the Marathon venue and also with the suppliers to how and under what conditions we will able to postpone the 8th Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon.
On 11 March 2020 the Hungarian government declared an official emergency situation for an indefinite period for the whole territory of Hungary, and ordered all organizers to postpone or cancel all of the indoor public events visited by more than 100 persons. Also the Hungarian government prohibited to enter to Hungary from some countries: Italy, China, South Korea, and Iran. This list could be extended to other countries during the next days, weeks. All public transportation banned from this countries, and also border control took in effect at the Hungarian borders, including the Schengen borders too. In Hungary currently there is no epidemic situation, only 13 people from abroad are infected, they are in hospital quarantine, but the Hungarian government wants to avoid the further spreading of the virus, so that's why they ordered the things above. After this it was clear that we forced to postpone the Marathon.
On 11 March 2020 the negotiations have led to results, so consequently we were able to postpone the 8th Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon, and we made an agreement with the owners of the Marathon venue about the new date of the Marathon: 26-28 March 2021. We decided to postpone the Marathon one year ahead, because many international events already postponed to the autumn period of this year, and with the experience of organize more than 25 tango marathons and many other events we see that probably there will be even too much event in Europe during this autumn.
We are very sorry about this vis maior situation. Personally we are deeply touched by we have to postpone the Marathon, after we worked a lot from out hearts to prepare a very nice tango event to make happy every participants. We hope that the epidemic situation will go away as soon as possible, and we will able to meet on the dancefloor again soon.
We wish all of you the best and a good health, and many nice tango in the future.
Abrazos,
Organizers of the Primavera Budapest Tango Marathon
