The FINA World Aquatics Championship brings a huge wave of visitors to Budapest

Turizmusonline.hu reports that according to the analysis of Szallas.hu, 70% more guests are coming to Budapest, compared to this time last year. People are booking mostly apartments and three-star hotels, most of the Hungarian visitors are coming from Nyíregyháza and Miskolc, while those coming from abroad mainly arrive from Poland, Slovakia and Romania.

A night in Budapest costs 58 euros on average, Hungarians spend usually 135 euros on lodging, while foreigners spend 160 euros on their 2-3 day stays in apartments or three star hotels. The number of bookings increased by 70% (as of yet!) thanks to the sport event, compared to the numbers in July 2016

Hungarians tend to book hotels on Hungarian booking sites, but two out of ten foreigners book on these sites as well. Judit Mészáros, marketing manager of Szallas.hu told Turizmosonline.hu that most of the Hungarians come from Nyíregyháza and Miskolc, but Polish, Slovakian and Romanian visitors also booked their hotels on Szallas.hu.
