The past does not hamper Hungary
Article Abstract:
Hungary has been a good tourist destination for many years because it has decent roads and hotels, unlike other former Eastern Bloc countries. However, it declined in popularity after the fall of communism as tourists visited cities such as Prague instead. Hungary is becoming more popular again and 40 million tourists are expected to visit in 1997, compared to 39 million in 1996. Many of these people are day-trippers. Tourist income has risen by 30% since 1996 and now stands at US$1 billion. Hungary offers unusual holidays focusing on its thermal spas and nature reserves.
