LMP: Govt tourism developments don't serve Hungarians' needs

Janos Kendernay, the co-leader of opposition LMP, said the government's tourism developments serve global tourism interests rather than the needs of Hungarian tourists, speaking at an online press conference on Friday. At the press conference streamed on Facebook, Kendernay said the novel coronavirus epidemic could have provided an opportunity for changes to the vision for Hungarian tourism. He said more money should have gone to support small and medium-sized enterprises; instead the government was spending billions of forints on the construction of big hotels and "pouring cement all around Lake Balaton". Kendernay said every Hungarian ought to have the opportunity to take a two-week summer vacation in country, and that would support local businesses.
