Although a few days ago even the Chancellor said that keeping hotels closed could take even the summer, government circles are very hopeful that tourism will start much earlier as a result of the purchase of new vaccines. However, the letter sent by the president of the Hungarian Hotel and Restaurant Association did not reflect these hopes of the government.

There is a growing belief in government circles that the entire tourism sector can be relaunched as early as spring, so there has been great outrage that Tamás Flesch, The president of the Hungarian Hotel and Restaurant Association (MSZÉSZ) sent a circular letter to Hungary’s hotels and restaurants about the fact that it is difficult to imagine an opening before May.

Following the publication of our article, the government called it irresponsible and unfounded horror news that hotels and restaurants in Hungary should be kept closed until Pentecost, then added that the government had made no such decision. By the way, neither our article nor Tamás Flesch affirm it. The president of MSZÉSZ tried to prepare the hotels so that they would not wait to open before Pentecost.

On Tuesday, the Hungarian Tourism Agency also issued a notice: a Zoltán Guller The organization led by Tamás Flesch also described the Pentecostal opening as a rumor, which is why the pressure on Tamás Flesch was so great that he withdrew his letter late at night, citing a “rebuttal issued by the Government Information Center.”

However, Flesch said nothing that had not been said before from the government side. Gergely Gulyás For example, a week ago you talked about the fact that realistically hotels and restaurants can only open in summer.

On January 14, the RTL Club Newsja asked the minister in charge of the Prime Minister’s Office: “How do people plan their holidays this year? Do they have to take into account the fact that restaurants, hotels and museums will be closed until the summer?”

Today, I think summer is the realistic scenario but in the worst case

Gulyás replied. The minister added that if we can get the vaccine from outside the union, he believes there are possibilities for an earlier opening, “but today we can only responsibly promise what the general director of the travel agency said.” In his opening video, Zoltán Guller spoke about the hope that tourism can start again in the summer.

According to sources at 24.hu, the president of the sector association ventured into a very sensitive area. This is because the government has been doing everything possible in recent weeks to shorten closures due to the coronavirus. New vaccine sources are also expected to have a much faster vaccination period than before. A “best scenario” has already been completed, with the March opening scheduled, but there is still little to dare to say in communication.
