hungary

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Hungary is a country)

'longing to tour a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hungry' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hungary that I've seen before include "Country where Magyar is spoken" , "country in Europe" , "It's capital is Budapest" , "Liszt's land" , "vizsla from here?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
