Hungarian tourism in a ‘golden age’, says agency head Guller
Change language:
Hungary’s tourism sector is “enjoying a golden age”, the head of the Hungarian Tourism Agency (Magyar Turisztikai Ügynökség) said late on Monday, arguing that the sector had never been as well funded as it is now.
The number of tourists visiting Hungary last year was 1.5 times the country’s population, Zoltán Guller told the Tourism Summit 2019 conference.
The rise in the income of hotels exceeded the global average and the number of foreign tourists visiting Hungary was double the European Union average, he said.
Occupancy rates at four and five-star hotels average around 80 percent, he added.
On the topic of the agency’s future plans, Guller said it would carry on with its planned developments and engage in more modern marketing activities.
