Rural accommodations closed a stronger half year than last year

In the first semester, 60% of all guest nights were spent in accommodations outside Budapest.While 87% of domestic guest nights and 35% of foreign accommodation traffic were linked to accommodation outside the capital. The region’s main foreign sending markets were Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, and Poland. The number of guest nights increased markedly from all of them, for example from Poland by 42%. The majority of those coming from beyond the country’s border visited the Hungarian sea. Accommodations at Lake Balaton were able to enjoy 10.7% more foreign guest nights this semester. The second and third most frequent choices of international guests were Debrecen and its region, as well as Bükk-Sárvár, where 34.7% and 13.8% more foreign guest nights were registered in the first six months of this year.

The region’s domestic traffic is also dominated by Lake Balaton, which accounted for more than a quarter of domestic guest nights. The interest in the region is also clearly shown by the fact that the number of tourists arriving here in the first six months of the year increased by more than a tenth compared to last year. After our number one rural area, most rural domestic guests spent their nights in Mátra-Bükk and in the area around Budapest.
