Tourism was a successful sector this summer
Based on the data of the National Tourist Information Center, more than 6 million guests arrived at Hungarian accommodation in the three summer months, which is 1% more than the result of last year’s high season, and 6.3% more than the 2019 figure. Compared to 2022, nearly 15% more tourists arrived from abroad, 2.6 million, even more than in the main season of 2019. In the strongest summer month, August, 6.7 million guest nights were realized in commercial, private and other accommodations, which also exceeds last year’s data. During the main season as a whole, hotels across the country received 6% more guests than last year, and even at Lake Balaton 5% more than in the summer of 2022 – said the Hungarian Tourist Agency, the Central Statistical Office and Hungarian Hotels and Restaurants At the joint summer evaluation press conference of his association.
With more than 17 million summer guest nights, domestic tourism reached the value measured in the summer of 2022, and the result of the record year of 2019 was surpassed by almost 3% – Zoltán Guller, president of MTÜ, began the season evaluation. In line with European trends, inbound traffic in Hungary also increased enormously in the summer. The 2.6 million foreign tourists who arrived in June-August spent 7.2 million guest nights in Hungary, which exceeded last year’s data by more than 12%, he added.
3.6 million domestic guests spent 9.9 million nights here, the number of domestic guests exceeded the results of the record year 2019 by 10%, and the number of guest nights by more than 6%. This year’s summer result was somewhat lower than the 2022 main season data, but this is also due to the fact that, for the first time since the epidemic, more Hungarians vacationed abroad this year.
