Basics of Hospitality, Catering and Tourism As proposed by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), the tourism sector has been annually celebrating the 27th of September as World Tourism Day since 1980. In connection with this, in 2011 MT Zrt., in the hope of creating a tradition, announced a large-scale guest-friendly promotion. This proved to be so successful that World Tourism Day has been celebrated in Hungary ever since. Hundreds of professional and industry partners nationwide (tourism service providers, various organisations, programme hosts as well as private individuals) lined up their creative ideas on how to provide special treatment to guests on this day. The objective was to draw the attention of the tourism industry and the Hungarian population to the necessity of hospitality, the need for the constant shaping of perspective and the significance of guest-friendly behaviour. By way of the promotion, the organisers wished to emphasise the significant and major role played by tourism in the Hungarian economy. (Source: http://itthon.hu/turizmus-vilagnap-2013.

On account of World Tourism Day, the Deputy State Secretary of the Ministry for National Economy responsible for tourism greeted the industry. In his opinion, 2013 will bring the greatest turnover of all time in tourism. According to the data of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO-KSH), in the first seven months of the year, 4.8 million guests spent close to 12.5 million guest nights at Hungarian commercial accommodations. Compared to the same period last year, the number of guests increased by 6% from 4 580 thousand people, while the number of guest nights increased by 5.3%. Revenues rose by 10.4% to HUF 81 633 million. The SZÉP Card has clearly contributed to these outstanding results as since its introduction, the card has continuously promoted domestic tourism and stimulated the economy. The revenues of commercial accommodations from the SZÉP Card make up one fifth of their total domestic accommodation fee revenues. Currently, 866 thousand people hold SZÉP Cards, which they can use to pay at close to 50 thousand points of sale. (Source: http://itthon.hu/turizmus-vilagnap-2013. Viewed on: 27.09.2013) 2.
