Az átutazó turizmus magyarországi sajátosságai, különös tekintettel a költésre
The features of transit tourism in Hungarian, with a special focus on spending

Summary/Abstract: The present study focuses on the tourist behaviour of participants in Hungarian transit tourism, and on the particularities of their spending. The work with the help of multi-variable mathematical-statistical methods explores the motivational background and spending characteristics of foreigners coming to Hungary, then it investigates the expenditure structure of transit travellers including the related influencing factors broken down by nationality for the years of 2009–2013.According to our studies transit travellers already have a very significant share in the spending composition of foreigners arriving in Hungary, moreover their spending continues to rise. Fuel purchases and meals in restaurants are the most important types of transit spending. Among visitors travelling through Hungary, the nationals of Romania, Serbia-Montenegro and Kosovo, Bulgaria have the largest share. The spending and number of transit travellers slightly increased in recent times too, however the per capita expenditures decreased. We have shown that this is due to rearrangement between countries.The change in transit spending is determined mostly by nationality. The most important finding of our research is that the key processes of transit travel basically depend on the general European trends and the conditions ensured by Hungary for transit travellers. Tourism policy should take into account this finding.
