Here are the most popular domestic tourism settlements in Hungary

Turizmus.com compiled the list of the most popular settlements based on domestic guest nights, gross accommodation premium income of hotels and the hotel charges per capita. It is remarkable that the most expensive cities are located in the rear section of the list.

The profession recorded the year of 2014 as a success, above all because of the more than 8%-growth of the domestic tourism. The nearly 12 million guest nights in the commercial accommodations mean HUF 70 billion domestic accommodation fee revenue as well, which is 15% more than in 2013. The gain was characteristic of all regions, but there were some settlements where visitor turnover didn’t reach the last year’s, and there are even such settlements which couldn’t repeat its performance before the crisis.

Over the past six years, the order of the most popular towns among domestic tourists has considerably changed, even if the forefront remained unchanged. Hajduszoboszlo (1), Siofok (2), Heviz (5) or Balatonfured (7) maintained their position, but for example Zalakaros (4), Gyula (6), Visegrad (13), Gyor (16), Balatonalmadi (21) stepped forward at least 3 places in the rankings based on the guest nights. The real big winners are Gyula, Balatonfüred, Buk, Gyor, Egerszalok, where domestic tourism during this period grew one and a half- two times or even much. In the regard of the domestic guest nights, the losers are Heviz, Debrecen, Pecs, Tihany, however, Heviz and Tihany could increase the foreign visitor traffic.
