Világgazdaság reported that tourism is one of the most important financial areas in Hungary. Since 2010, the number of tourists arriving doubled, and in 2018, these people spent almost 2,000 billion HUF while spending their time in Hungary (6 million EUR). Tourism also helps to shape the country’s image in foreign people’s eyes who usually plan their next trip to another country at the end of every year, as statistics revealed.
Unfortunately, events that shaped Hungary’s image in a negative way also have to be mentioned. Many people were concerned about visiting Budapest when the tragedy happened to Hableány, a ship that carried Korean tourists on the River Danube.
Many English people plan their winter trips or New Years’s Eve celebrations to Hungary, especially Budapest. While planning, they are also keen on sharing their opinions and plans with others, spreading the opportunities and excitement about the Hungarian capital. Usually, they chat with their relatives and acquaintances before travelling, while they are here in Hungary, and after they return home.
