| Czech tourism records major decline in first quarter |
| Prag, 12.05.2020 |
|
| There was a marked fall-off in tourist numbers in the Czech Republic in the first quarter of 2020, according to official data released on Monday. Between the start of January and the start of April, 3.1 million tourists were recorded – a fall of 22.2 percent on the same period in 2019.
The number of nights paid for in the country’s hotels, guest houses and camp sites declined by 16.7 percent to 8.9 million, the Czech Statistics Office said.
Despite the overall figures, the year had actually got off to a bright start for the Czech Republic’s important tourism industry, with growth recorded in visitor numbers in both January and February.
Naturally the coronavirus crisis put paid to that. Mid-March saw the introduction of strict measures aimed at slowing the spread of the infection, including the closing of the country’s borders.
According to Czech Statistics Office travel expert Pavel Vančura, the Covid-19 pandemic caused a year-on-year fall of 67 percent in tourist numbers in the third month of the year. Overnight stays in accommodation facilities declined by 57 percent.
