'Record Year' Expected for Tourism in Hungary
Hungarian accommodations recorded 7.1 million guest nights in the first three months of 2024, up by 14% from the same period last year, raising hopes that 2024 would become a “record year”, the Hungarian Tourism Agency (MTÜ) have announced.

The number of guests grew by an annual 18% to 2.9 million, according to data collected through the national data service centre (NTAK) for tourism accommodations, MTÜ said.

The number of domestic travellers was up by 14% from the first quarter of 2023, at over 1.5 million. Travellers have spent 3.3 million guest nights at accommodations, MTU said. Foreign travellers spent 3.7 million guest nights, 16% more than last year, the statement said.

The number of foreign guests was up by nearly 25%, at 1.4 million. All national indicators on accommodations have surpassed those in 2019, MTÜ said.

Accommodations have generated nearly 160 billion forints (EUR 411.2m) in revenue, up by 17% compared with the same period last year.
