(MENAFN- AzerNews) Hungary's tourism sector saw a strong recovery in 2022, with the
number of overnight stays in the country's commercial
accommodations increasing by almost 40 percent year-on-year to
nearly 40 million, the authorities said on Monda.
'The number of overnight stays was only 5 percent fewer than in
2019 before the (COVID-19) pandemic,' Zoltan Guller, director of
the Hungarian Tourism Agency, said.
Last year, revenues from commercial lodging increased by 52
percent year-on-year to 668 billion Hungarian forints (1.86 billion
U.S. dollars), Guller said.
Overall, the capital city, Budapest, was the most popular
tourist destination in Hungary, while the northeastern mountain
regions of Matra and Bukk, as well as Lake Balaton, were the most
frequently visited destinations among domestic travelers.
Most foreign visitors to Hungary arrived from Germany, followed
by the Czech Republic, Romania, the United Kingdom and Poland.
Guller said that last year's tourism figures were still lower
than those of 2019 due to fewer visitors from the United States,
Russia and China.
