Water-Based Tourism as Reflected in Visitors to Hungary’s Lakes
Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2015, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Beaches are the most popular destinations in the world. As Hungary has a lot of surface water, it is excellent for lake tourism. The main purpose of our research is to show the developmental trends of Lake Tisza and Lake Balaton. How they managed to increase the number of visitors and how they managed to overcome the difficulties which affect tourism? The state of development of the study areas was quantified by the Bennett Index. We confirmed these results by correlation analysis. In the case of Lake Tisza nearly the same level of development can be demonstrated as with the study area at the Balaton.
