Tourist numbers still below pre-Covid levels

Over five million tourists stayed in accommodation facilities in Czechia during the second quarter of 2022, which represents a year-on-year increase by 229 percent, according to the latest figures released by the Czech Statistics Office.

However, that figure is still below pre-Covid levels, with nearly 5.8 million guests arriving in mass accommodation facilities during the same period in 2019.

The majority of last year’s guests, 3.1 million, were domestic tourists, with the exception of Prague, where three quarters of the guests were foreigners. The largest number of foreign tourists traditionally came from Germany, followed by Slovaks and Poles.
