Revenue from tourism arrivals fell by half to 8.4 percent
Revenues from domestic business tourism arrivals fell by half of the year
by 8.4 percent to 59.8 billion crowns. This is the first decline since 2003.
According to recent data from the Czech National Bank. According to analyst
firm Mag Consulting is the result of the crisis, which caused an outflow
of foreign tourists and reduced the duration of their stay.
„We expect that the downturn will be even greater. There were, however,
the beginning of the year, when revenues were still quite high,“ said the
head of Mag Consulting Jaromir Beranek. According to him in the first
quarter was a great interest in Czech mountains, where more skiers arrived
especially from Poland.
Total hotels in Czech arrived in half 2.7 million guests from abroad, a year
12 percent less. To this must be added other visitors who sleep in the Czech
Republic with friends, or not stay overnight.
Unlike the Czechs revenue expenditure on foreign holidays in half stagnated
at just under 37 billion. Beranek described the development as a surprise
due to declining sales tours. One explanation for the apparently increasing
number of Czechs who arrange their own holiday without the help
of travel agencies.
„This year in the Mediterranean free hotel capacity and the hotel can get
on the internet very cheaply,“ said Beranek. He said this year may increase
individual tourists from the CR to make 15 to 20 percent.
