“At Home in Prague” Program Attracted More Than 30,000 Tourists
In July, the special campaign attracted more than 30,000 tourists to Prague, a major increase over last year. The tourist campaign At Home in Prague (V Praze jako doma), aimed at attracting tourists through special discounts, attracted about 31,000 people to the capital in the month of July, which is 30 percent more than last year. According to a ČTK interview with Klara Mala, a spokesperson for Prague City Tourism, the most visited attractions include Prague Zoo in Troja, the Petrin Lookout Tower, and the Old Town Hall. Like last year, tourists receive special vouchers for each night spent at a hotel until the end of August, which they can use to receive discounts or free admission to selected museums, galleries, and zoos. Last year, the campaign attracted over 70,000 people to the capital, 24,000 of whom arrived in July. This year, seven thousand more tourists visited Prague last month. “The exact reason for the increase in the number of tourists can only be assumed.
