There are more bookings for New Year’s Eve and the first two months of next year than this time a year ago. Budapest and Eger are the most popular destinations for guests booking on Szallas.hu for Christmas, New Year’s Eve and the beginning of the new year.
According to Szallas.hu booking data, the proportion of end of the year and beginning of next year bookings has increased compared to previous years. “Although we cannot predict what is in store for tourism next year, we expect that as long as travel is not restricted, the desire to travel will remain,” explained Lili Kelemen, Szallas.hu’s press officer, “At the same time, travel habits may change, interest in domestic destinations will continue to grow, we will opt for nearby destinations and even spend less on a holiday by reducing the number of nights.”
