Hungary offers more affordable Hop On Hop Off tours

Hungarian Hop On Hop Off tours are set to have a significant cut in VAT, but this may not translate into cheaper ticket prices. Following a government decree, from 23 May, such tours will have to pay only 5 percent VAT, down from the country’s current 27 percent rate. Nevertheless, Hop On Hop Off tours will still have to pay tourism development contributions, which will reduce any potential price cuts. The new rules only apply to service providers that enable electronic payment for their passengers. The move follows ongoing efforts by the Hungarian government to boost domestic tourism, which has suffered due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
