Record Summer Season In Domestic Tourism Expected In Hungary
There is a chance of a record summer season in domestic tourism as pre-bookings have surpassed one million for every summer month, CEO Zoltán Guller of state tourism agency MTÜ told Magyar Nemzet.

Holidaymakers have booked 1.1 million guest nights for July.

Lake Balaton will be the most popular destination this summer, followed by the mountainous regions Mátra and Bükk and the city of Debrecen, he said.

Budapest, which relies heavily on foreign guests, is likely to benefit less from the upswing in domestic tourism.

The MTÜ is planning international ad campaigns to promote Hungarian destinations once borders open.

Hotels were allowed to reopen to Hungarian guests with immunity certificates from Saturday as the number of people vaccinated reached four million.
