Tourism agency: Domestic accommodation bookings up 30 pc in one month

Accommodation bookings by domestic travellers have increased by 30 percent in one month, the deputy head of the Hungarian Tourism Agency said on Tuesday. A large number of bookings have been made for the second half of June and for the months of July and August, and the tourism sector is expected to restart with the easing of epidemic-related restrictions in early to mid-June, Laszlo Konnyid told public news channel M1. The tourism agency recently published the results of a new survey showing that over half of Hungarians plan to travel after the epidemic is over. A total of 12 percent of respondents said they plan to travel abroad, with Croatia and Greece topping the list of destinations.
