In the near future, Prague City could be able to raise the price of parking fees for tourists and larger vehicles. According to the new regulation, there should always be at least 15 percent of parking slots available around the city. Higher parking fees for tourists should also encourage them to use public transport. Owners of large vehicles should also pay more for parking. “We expect questions about possible changes in the price of residential parking,” said Adam Scheinherr, Prague’s Deputy Mayor for Transportation. “We need to deal with all the city districts because the system must be uniform for everyone,” he added. “Inside the city we have a good share of people using public transport (46%), walking to work (30%), using cars (25%), cycling (1-2%), but outside of Prague, this share is reversed, with 46% people driving to Prague by cars,” A.Scheinherr added. “We will also examine the possibility of discounts for Prague residents who need to park their car outside their city district,” added Pavel Richter (Spojené síly pro Prahu), Chairman of the Transport Committee of Prague.

Czech people are learning to buy even their basic consumer goods online. E-commerce won’t be returning to its pre-pandemic tracks The ongoing pandemic is motivating both retailers as well as consumers to take advantage of the capacities of e-commerce. The share of e-commerce in the Czech GDP will increase to as much as 2.7%. Companies no longer expect the situation to return to its pre-coronavirus state; shopping online will become the standard even for those types of products that had been bought exclusively in brick-and-mortar stores. Closed shops, restaurants not operating. At first, losing the option to shop in brick-and-mortar stores seemed to represent a significant obstacle for many customers. Fortunately for them, and for many companies as well, the alternative to traditional shopping already existed – and therefore shopping and transactions shifted online on a mass scale. “From the customer’s point of view, this is a completely natural development. Customers have learned to easily procure those commodities which they used to purchase in retail store online. This confirms the fact that e-commerce is fully capable of replacing classic retail services,” says Michal Šejba, the regional manager of the Exactly company. According to Shoptet.cz data, e-commerce related to food, delivery,...

Spain was plunged into the so-called “new normality” on Sunday, after nearly 100 days under a state of alarm due to the coronavirus crisis. passengers on a hundred or so flights landed in Spain from Schengen-area countries, with a total of 225 routes restarting – a low number compared to a normal month of June. Spain’s Minister of Health Salvador Illa said tourists will first have to fill in a form stating exactly where they will be staying for the duration of their trip and whether or not they have previously had coronavirus. Then they will also have their temperature taken at the airport and undergo a visual inspection. Illa said that if the passenger fails one of the three checks, they will be seen by a doctor. “We want to make sure that we welcome visitors, but we want to do this in safety and security for them, as well as for the Spaniards,” says Spanish Foreign Minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya.
