What are the preferences from this country?
Interest on the part of the Hungarian tourist market for road trips in Greece both with LX cars and self-propelled vehicles was found at the Travel+ Utazas tourist exhibition, which took place a few days ago in Budapest, in the presence of the Thessaloniki, Halkidiki and Pieria Tourism Organizations.
According to the Thessaloniki Tourism Organization, Hungary is a growing market, a fact that is also confirmed by Fraport’s data for Thessaloniki’s Macedonia Airport, where in 2022 35,642 arrivals were recorded, while in 2023 44,668 (an increase of 25.32%).
The deputy regional governor of the Metropolitan Unity of Thessaloniki and president of the Thessaloniki Tourism Organization, Voula Patoulidou, stated in her statements that the preferences of visitors from Hungary include the culture and history of Central Macedonia, road tourism with cars and motorbikes, camping and family holidays, reported APE BEE.
The president of the Tourist Organization of Halkidiki, Grigoris Tassios, pointed out that Halkidiki is for many Hungarians a familiar destination and even a recurring one, while for others it is a new holiday proposal. For his part, the president of the Pieria Organization for Tourism Development and Promotion (POTAP) Giorgos Karalis noted that the exhibition presented Pieria as a destination on the map of the Hungarian tourist market.
