Most Hungarians recommend Budapest and Lake Balaton for tourists

As it is revealed by online financial service PayPal’s international survey, Hungarian people value Hungary’s attractiveness: 92 percent of the Hungarian respondents would recommend Hungary to foreigner tourists.

The international survey Travel Report 2017 was carried out by Gfk in June of 2017 in Poland, Hungary, Greece and the Czech Republic. Five thousand people responded all together, as VG.hu reports. The sample from Hungary consisted of 1014 people, who had been in one of the Eastern Central European countries at least once during the last 3 years.

The results are interesting. 42 percent would recommend Budapest as the most favorable attraction in Hungary, while 41 percent named Lake Balaton.

The survey reveals that among the Hungarian tourists who went to an Eastern Central European country during the last three years, 47 percent traveled to Croatia, 45 percent to Slovakia and 34 percent to Romania.

There is a connection between the destination and the type of the travel. 80 percent of the Hungarian respondents have gone to rest in Eastern Central Europe, 38 percent went for cultural reasons, 14 percent to visit family and friends, and 13 percent attended an event. There were also alternate purposes like going shopping (11 percent) or going for a business trip (9 percent).
