Sell the Budapest Card – it is worth it! 

The Budapest Card 

Vienna, Berlin, Heidelberg, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo, Salzburg or Stockholm are just a few of the many cities of Europe where you can find city cards giving excellent discounts for tourists.Based on this principle in 1997 the Tourism Office of Budapest created the Budapest Card, which offers a quality program package for individual tourists, making it easier for them to discover the attractions of the Hungarian capital.

Types of sale 

Voucher: We have created a card voucher for foreign travel agencies which tourists can exchange for Budapest Cards at the main arrival points of the capital (airports, railway stations), as well as in tourinform offices in the city centre. Partners can use their own voucher as well, in this case we need only a sample of it, the vouchers can be exchanged the same way.

Direct sales: Some people take the “risk” of cash sales and pay for the price of the cards straight away, either by cash or with bank transfer. In this case it is important to remember that we cannot take back these cards or exchange them for those valid in the following year. The larger risk is naturally rewarded with a higher commission.  

Marketing tools

We continuously supply different marketing tools for our sales partners (stickers, leaflets, A1 and A4 size posters). The card and the booklet that comes with it is a good opportunity for museums, attractions and other service providers to introduce themselves to tourists and to attract them with special offers. The aim is to lengthen the stay of foreign tourists in Budapest and to make sure that they spend their stay here in an active way.
