Association of Hungarian Travel Agents and Tour Operators
(MUISZ)
The Association of Hungarian Tour Operators and Travel Agents
(MUISZ) started to operate in 1974. The founders were 7 state-governed
travel agencies, the only ones which existed at that time. The
aim of the association was to represent and protect the interests
of its members.
After the political changes in 1989 the situation has radically
changed, travel companies proliferated like mushroom. At present,
there are approximately 1150 registered and legally operating
travel enterprises in Hungary. Out of this number some 250 companies
are members of MUISZ. These 250 companies handle over 85 % of
the total turnover of the organized travels. The industry has
undergone a specialization, there are companies specialized in
a certain destination, or in the inbound or in outbound traffic.
We can proudly tell that the Hungarian travellers look for the
MUISZ emblem and choose possibly a member of us when travelling.
MUISZ membership is a pledge of quality, reliability and professionalism.
Beside the normal members of MUISZ there are also extraordinary
members who are in one way or the other, connected to the travel
trade (e.g. insurance companies, tourist boards, hotel chains,
travel guide publishers, etc.)
The main task of the Association is to work for the interest
of its membership, to represent the travel trade on every possible
forum, to assist and intervene wherever possible for achieving
the best conditions both for the members and for the trade.
Together with the Tourism Department of the Hungarian Chamber
of Commerce and Industry MUISZ created the ethical codes of the
travel enterprises in 1999, laying down general ethical standards
for the industry. It states the basic requirements of business
conduct, the expected attitude and behaviour both among members
and toward customers.
