Survey: Hungary best value destination for foreign tourists

Budapest, July 16 (MTI) – Hungary is a best value destination for foreign visitors according to a fresh tourism survey, Zoltan Szanto, editor-in-chief of Turizmus Online, told public television on Thursday.

For Austrian visitors, an amount of 100 euros has been worth far more in Hungary each of the past four years, the data show, Szanto said.

He said there has been a shift on the Austrian market; while earlier many Austrian pensioners came to Hungary to visit spas, now it is young people arriving in large numbers to Hungarian festivals as well as the capital.

Szanto said the spa towns in western Hungary are very popular among Austrian tourists, noting dental tourism as another phenomenon typical of that market.

Hungary is also very good value for money for British tourists, he said, adding that more of them came to the country in the first six months of this year than from Austria.
