Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: "The local unit is an enterprise or part thereof situated in a geographically identified place. At or from this place economic activity is carried out for which - save for certain exceptions - one or more persons work (even if only part-time) for one and the same enterprise. The accommodation establishment conforms to the definition of local unit as the production unit. This is irrespective of whether the accommodation of tourists is the main or secondary activity. This means that all establishments are classified in the accommodation sector if their capacity exceeds the national minimum even if the major part of turnover may come from restaurant or other services."

In 2023, Czechia had a total of 10,293 accommodation establishments. Of these, 7,267 were hotels and similar types of accommodation, making up 70 percent of the total. Additionally, there were 2,454 holiday and short-stay establishments, along with 572 camping grounds and recreational or trailer parks.

Economic impact of tourism in the country

Tourism remains a vital contributor to Czechia’s economy. In 2023, the sector accounted for 2.36 percent of the national GDP, equivalent to nearly 180 billion Czech koruna. This marks a strong rebound from the pandemic low of 2020, when tourism’s economic output fell to 84 billion koruna. The industry’s recovery is also reflected in employment figures, with more than 224,000 people working in tourism-related jobs in 2023, underscoring its role as a key employment driver.

Emerging regional tourism trends

Although Prague continues to lead in international visitor numbers, other regions are increasingly making their mark. The Karlovy Vary Region welcomed over 750,000 international tourists in 2024, positioning it as the second most visited region by foreign travelers. This shift points to a growing trend of regional diversification, mirroring broader patterns seen across Central and Eastern Europe, where countries like Croatia and Poland are also experiencing rising tourist numbers. Meanwhile, the growing popularity of South Moravia and South Bohemia among Czech residents signals a renewed appreciation for domestic travel and local attractions.
