Inbound tourism to the Czech Republic has seen a particularly impressive surge in the past year. The number of foreign visitors increased by 4.1%, and overnight stays rose 5% to 26.8 million. The data indicate a trend toward longer stays by tourists from abroad, which has a positive economic impact on the industry.

The sharpest increase was in tourism from Israel, with 254,964 visitors, up 33.4%. The United Arab Emirates recorded 33,778 visitors, an increase of 30%. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Japan, Argentina, and China also showed 10% increases.
The data show that the Czech Republic has not only recovered from the coronavirus crisis but has also surpassed its 2019 peak for the second consecutive year. Compared to 2019, the country welcomed 1.6 million more tourists and facilitated 2.1 million more overnight stays.
In doing so, the country joins a group of European destinations that have translated the return of demand into long-term growth and strengthened their international standing.
