The other V4 countries besides Hungary – the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland – are in the top ten list of source countries in terms of tourists arriving in Hungary, therefore the partnership is very important, said Péter Princzinger, deputy chief of development at the Hungarian Tourism Agency.

The press statement noted that the V4 partnership has elevated significance in terms of Hungary’s record tourism figures in 2016. The statement noted that this year is especially important for Hungary as it takes over the rotating presidency of the V4 from Poland in July.
