Northern (N): Hungary (NH). Tourism

A file containing a report produced by Ivor Pink, the British ambassador to Hungary, concerning tourism in Hungary. The report discusses an increase in the number of tourists visiting Hungary during 1964, which has had a significant impact on the Hungarian economy; and the fact that "the socialist camp took by far the larger share of this traffic", with Hungary receiving 748,000 visitors from Czechoslovakia alone, representing over half of the total number of foreign tourists to visit Hungary. The report also covers Pink's view that the development of mass tourism is "a sign and a consequence of the greater confidence of the East European Governments"; and Pink's observation that the mass influx of foreign tourists into Hungary has not been entirely successful, as shown by the occasional "open friction and brawls". The report further comments on visits to Hungary by Western tourists.
