According to the latest data from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, in the first quarter of 2024, the majority of same-day outbound trips by Hungarian citizens were for shopping, accounting for 37.9% of all trips. This trend has consistently remained significant since 2019. On the other hand, the primary reason for multi-day outbound trips during the same period was holidays, leisure, and recreation, representing 39.4% of all trips. These same purposes also prevailed in the total length of stay and spending of outbound trips, indicating an established trend in the motivation behind Hungarian citizens’ travel. Detailed data is freely available from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office’s public statistical database, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring key tourism figures in Hungary.
