Traveler's checks – more popular than expected

Record amounts of discount holiday vouchers were purchased by the domestic employers in the first five months of the year. More than 31 billion HUF holiday bills were given to 700 thousand users.

"Fortunately, the pessimistic worst-case projections of the professionals were not proven. These projections forecasted a decline in the popularity of holiday checks, because of the economic crisis and the tax relief reduction"– reports ProfitLine.hu., after MTI.
