Travel habits and active tourism in 2020

Absztrakt

The COVID-19 pandemic emerged in Hungary in March 2020, when the first coronavirus patient was reported. The government declared a state of emergency, borders were closed and exit restrictions were introduced in the country. The epidemic and the restrictions had a significant impact on the travel habits of Hungarian tourists in the summer of 2020. In our study, we examined Hungarian tourists’ annual travel frequency, the duration of their trips, the means of transportation used to travel, as well as their attitudes towards active tourism products. We also assessed vacation and relaxation opportunities for Hungarian tourists in the summer of 2020.
