==Application Details==
Budapest was created by the unification of three cities - Buda, Óbuda and Pest - in 1873 and from this point on the Hungarian capital started to grow and develop rapidly. Its area now is 525 sq. km. Pest makes up for two-thirds of the city and is located on the eastern, flat bank of the Danube, and one-third is Buda, located on the western, hilly bank of the Danube.

Since 2000, tourism has grown steadily. The tourism industry made a direct contribution of $4.7 billion to Hungaryʹs total GDP (4.2%), much of it from Budapest. In 2005 there were 135 hotels and more than 15,000 rooms in Budapest, mostly in the three- and four-star segments. Moreover, the number of tourist arrivals in Budapest increased by 50 percent between 1991 and 2004, to reach almost 2.4 million: a total compound growth rate of 3 percent. .BUDAPEST is expected to assist with tourism and add to these totals.

The .BUDAPEST top-level domain will be marketed to registrants who want to associate themselves, their products, services, thoughts, ideas or anything else in a positive way with Budapest, as well as to those who want to communicate with them in an easily identifiable way. Therefore we believe that the great majority of registrants who apply for a .BUDAPEST domain name will do so because of its association with or because they want to reach those who do, and not for other reasons. In these ways, the .BUDAPEST top-level domain will bring a special association with Budapest to the top-level domain name space."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1549 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 15 Feb 2013</ref>
