Security has become one of the fundamental problems in tourism. In the period since 2001 the increasing occurrence of previously rare acts of terror, and the unpredictability of their location, have created a new situation in the tourist sector.

The vigorous development of tourism is the aim in Hungary during 2007-2013. It is to be hoped that Hungary’s preparedness and utilisation of international experience – both in mitigating potential threats and in strengthening the security of locations – will be able to counteract the risks caused by terrorism.
