They had spent a total of 17,5 million days here, which is 8 per cent more than a year before. 3 per cent more Hungarians travelled abroad than a year earlier, on 3,6 million occasions. Foreign tourists spent HUF 166 billion in Hungary in the January-March period, while Hungarians spent HUF 110 billion abroad. Visitors arriving for a single day spend over 50 per cent of their money on buying food and other merchandise.
