According to a report by state news wire MTI, Nagy said the package had been put together by the Tourism Consulting Body, a group of industry insiders recently established to advise the government on tourism policy.
The goal of the package, he added, was to reduce red tape and boost the competitiveness of the sector.
The package would regulate short-term rentals in the capital, cap service fees, establish rules for guided tours and give the SZEP voucher card a digital upgrade, he said.
The carbon tax on airlines is also expected to be phased out, he added.
Nagy said the tourism sector was “performing very well”, generating 12% of GDP and over 10% of tax revenue.
