Heviz thermal lake re-opens

The thermal lake of Heviz, a popular tourist destination, re-opened on the weekend, attracting hundreds of guests, local government officials said on Monday. Most hotels in the spa town will re-open between mid-May and the second week of June, strictly keeping to coronavirus-related rules and regulations, a chief advisor to the mayor told a press conference. Ninety percent of tourists with plans to visit Heviz stand ready to travel right away, Orsolya H Horvath said, citing an online survey conducted with a sample of 4,500 people. "This justifies that health tourism could become a shock-resistant sector," she said.
