Changes to short-term rental rules impact Budapest only, says Hungarian Tourism Agency
A two-year suspension of issues of permits for short-term rentals and an increase in the room tax for Airbnb-type activity will affect the area of the capital only, not other settlements, the Hungarian Tourism Agency said on Tuesday, responding to press inquiries.
“The measures will not affect other settlements in Hungary, now or in future,” the agency said. Hungarian Tourism Agency head László Könnyid noted that the capital had led the country in terms of guest nights last year, with 14,200,000. Siofok, on Lake Balaton, was runner-up, with 1,117,497 guest nights, followed by the spa towns of Hajdúszoboszló (1,111,620) and HévÃz (1,068,724).
