Gergely Karácsony, mayor of Budapest, noted: “Travel is the best investment, as it will surely make everyone richer, and traveling can make us more open and teach us a great many things.”
He also acknowledged that mass tourism in many cities has become unbearable for those living there and needed to be addressed.
