Unreasonably low quotes have already appeared, but more and more places cannot finance it to keep it open empty, explained the president of the Hungarian Hotel and Restaurant Association.

Due to the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic, the Christmas and New Year periods cannot be planned either, we can only hope that reservations for the holiday period can start at the last minute, said Tamás Flesch, president of the Association of Hotels and Hungary restaurants.

As he said, due to the lack of reservations for the coming weeks and months from foreigners staying at home, several hotels were closed again, not only in Budapest, but also on Lake Balaton. Again, there are several restaurants in the capital that cannot live without foreign guests and are unwilling or unable to finance the expensive opening hours.

So far, at least, the low rise in room prices has been avoided and it makes no sense to cut prices, said the president of the hotel association. At the same time, he thinks the irrationally low offers that Budapest and rural hotels are trying to counter against the guest shortage at the end of the year suggest a dangerous trend.

The only hope left is that if the situation does not deteriorate and further restrictive measures are not needed, reservations can still begin for the holiday period, he said.
