Prices increase but guests still spend a lot
The tourism season on Lake Balaton has started well this year: there is no sign of a drop in accommodation bookings, and the final bills at restaurants have not decreased either. Despite the rise in prices, there is no sign of any pressure to save money on the part of guests, the owner and manager of the Kistücsök restaurant in Balatonszemes told Világgazdaság.
On restaurant prices, he said that the average increase of 15% compared to last year is unavoidable. However, that is still very moderate compared to the actual price increases that everyone is experiencing. He added that the rate of price increases in the catering sector in the surrounding countries is close to 30 percent, as hvg.hu writes.
