CT: Tourism numbers slowly returning to pre-Covid levels

The incoming tourism industry in Czechia is slowly returning to pre-Covid 19 numbers, the director of state agency CzechTourism, Jan Hegert, told Czech Television. Last year the industry generated CZK 118 billion, a rise of around CZK 51 billion on the previous year. However, this was still some way behind the approximately CZK 167 billion recorded in 2019, the year before the pandemic hit.

Czechs are now holidaying more in their own country than before the coronavirus, Czech Television reported. The head of the Association of Hotels and Restaurants, Václav Stárek, said however that they are now typically opting for shorter stays.
