Hungary Today 2024.05.06.

The number of Hungarian tourists visiting Türkiye more than doubled in the first three months of the year, reports Turizmus.com.

In the first three months of the year, 9,518 Hungarian visitors traveled to Türkiye in 2022, 12,788 in 2023, and 24,473 so far this year.

While last year saw a 34.36 percent increase compared to the previous year, this year, the number of Hungarian visitors to Türkiye has almost doubled, with 91.37 percent more tourists attracted to the beautiful coastal cities.

Antalya was the most popular destination in 2023, followed by Istanbul, Aydın, Nevşehir, and Izmir.

Furthermore, Türkiye is not only popular as a summer holiday destination. Along with Basel and Rome, Istanbul tops the list of the most popular spring break flight destinations in Hungary, according to Kiwi.com. With Istanbul coming in second, Mario Gavira, Vice President of Growth at Kiwi.com, stressed that increased demand for Asian destinations is being seen in all markets. This year, there were 300 percent more bookings to Türkiye for the spring break than last year.
