Czech Tourism sees 4.5 million foreign tourists in summer

Czech Tourism has estimated that this summer 4.5 million foreign tourists will come to the Czech Republic. That represents an 8 percent rise on last year.

For the whole year the state tourism promotion agency estimates 11 million foreign visitors.

Czech interest in taking domestic holidays is estimated to rise by around 20 percent this year. That interest has been boosted by higher local wages. South Bohemia and South Moravia are among the locations where tourism is expected to increase most, according to the website Hotel.cz.
