According to government officials, there is no such decision, so it is not true that accommodation providers and restaurants are expected to remain closed until Pentecost.
Yet in a recent video message from the Hungarian State Tourism Agency CEO Zoltán Guller even said that “we are planning to start in the summer” and even said in one of the organisation’s official podcasts he said “we have to wait a few long and hard months until April-May when mass vaccinations may begin.” But not only the state-owned company responsible for the sector, but the minister leading the Prime Minister's Office Gergely Gulyás also spoke at one of the latest Government briefings that reopening the sector is only realistic in the summer.
The tourism and hospitality sector, which provides a livelihood for hundreds of thousands of people, has been brutally affected by the aftermath of the coronavirus epidemic; besides the cultural sector it was them that suffered the most from the restrictions.
The Hungarian Socialist Party calls on the government to communicate directly and openly and to provide real, transparent assistance to those concerned instead of giving contradictory information to people and making irresponsible accusations.
