Impact of the Political Transitions on the Tourism of Lake Balaton
Journal Title: Journal of Tourism and Services - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
After an overview of the situation of tourism at Lake Balaton and the past and current situation of the region, the problems became evident. The infrastructural factors and the demand that were inherited from the former systems are not in accordance with the European and world trends, neither with the global changes that occurred in tourism. The reasons for the decrease in the demand to visit Lake Balaton could be the disappearance of mass tourism on the beach, the changes in the regime and the reunification of Germany. After the changes of the regimes the tourists from East-Central-Europe turned to other seaside or lakeside destinations. This trend was initiated by the more effective marketing of the countries that stretch along seashores. The private accommodation rented by tourist were designed and meant to reach the tourists on a budget, while in Europe there is a trend for looking for quality. The Internet and the faster means of transport have made it possible to compare the resorts. To get good value for money is an important factor in choosing the destination and in this respect we are at a disadvantage compared to our competitors.
