According to international research company Euromonitor International, the number of tourists visiting Prague has increased in 2019, reaching 9.2 million visits so far. Prague is now the 22nd most visited city in the world. Even though Hong Kong is continuing to experience turbulent times, the city in South China has managed to keep its first place in the ranking. 26.7 million tourists visited the metropolis. Another five Asian cities then placed in the Top 10, including the Thai capital Bangkok (2nd place), Macau (3rd place), Singapore (4th place), and Kuala Lumpur (9th place). In addition to the number of tourists, Euromonitor International also monitors how much money people spend on their visits. Europe attracts the highest number of tourists overall. In 2019, nearly 722 million visitors came to Europe, spending €520 billion. In terms of the number of visits, the biggest European attraction is London, which recorded about 19.6 million visitors in 2019, about 300,000 more than in 2018.

From today, December 4th, 2019, a tram plastered with posters from 1989 will be running through the streets of the capital. On weekdays, the tram will run on the historic line number 23 and weekends as line number 2. This tram is a way of commemorating the events of the Velvet Revolution and the free elections in 1990. The design was prepared for the transportation company by Pavel Šťastný, the logo author of the Civic Forum. “Exactly 30 years ago, a major demonstration took place on Wenceslas Square and less than a week later, Václav Havel announced that he would run for president. He had only 19 days for the campaign. The presidential campaign also included a revolutionary slogan tram number 8085,” said Deputy Mayor Adam Scheinherr. Compared to the initially covered tram, this one also bears the logo for 30 years of freedom. “The tram passing through the centre was the first big mobile propagator of election information. There was no Internet or Facebook,” said Pavel Šťastný.
Last year, the number of foreigners registered in Prague exceeded 200,000. Overall, foreigners make up more than 15% of all Prague residents. An Analysis published by the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR) has provided demographic data on economic activities of foreigners in the Czech capital. The results have shown that foreigners are significantly more economically active than “average Praguers”. This is related to their demographic and social factors and in particular their purpose of stay, which is usually new employment. Another important factor is the average age. While the average age of foreigners from EU countries is about 39 years, the average age of third-country nationals is lower – around 35 years. Foreigners thus decrease the average age of Prague inhabitants, which would otherwise be between 43 and 44 years. Foreigners represent an important part of today’s Prague population and an essential source of labour force. At the same time, they are becoming a stable part of the future Prague population. This stabilisation is particularly necessary to meet the needs of the labour market, as the unemployment in Prague has reached a historical minimum. The analysis shows that citizens from the European Union make one-third of all foreigners. The remaining...
British Airways won this year’s Quietest Airline competition, organized by Prague Airport in cooperation with Prague 6 City District. The winners of the trophy were presented by the representatives of Prague Airport and Prague 6 during a regular meeting of the airport representatives with the mayors of the surrounding municipalities and city districts. The contest, aimed at motivating air carriers to use more modern and quieter aircraft to operate their routes from and to Prague, evaluates, alongside noise level parameters of aircraft upon arrival or departure, flight track adherence and aircraft seat capacity use, i.e. load factor. Long-term, Prague Airport has been active in the environmental protection field, seeking, based on regular discussions with representatives of its surrounding areas, solutions for contended co-existence. The contest has become one of the efficient tools for achieving their common goal. Prague Airport has been active in the field of environmental protection and, based on regular discussions with representatives of the surrounding localities, is trying to find solutions for a happy coexistence. This competition is one of the useful tools leading to a common goal. The competition is held annually during the period when air traffic at Prague Airport is the most intense (from...
It is no longer necessary to prove a physical card to a conductor or inspector; a mobile application suffices. The newest PID Lítačka application has arrived for regular passengers and public transport in Prague, as well as suburban lines in the Central Bohemia Region. This is another step in the modernization and digitization of urban travel, in where the new transport system started in Prague and the Central Bohemia Region last year. This significantly facilitated the purchase of tickets and coupons as well as their recording on physical carriers. Until now, only physical plastic cards have been used as identifiers with which you could prove yourself during the transport control. Since the launch of the new transport system, the PID Lítačka application has also worked, but it was only possible to buy short-term fares. However, this is now changing, and it is finally possible to upload long-term coupons (i.e. quarterly, half-yearly or yearly) to a mobile application that works on both Android and iOS. As of December first, the application can serve as an identifier. Lítačka has been ready for long-term coupons and their uploads for a while, but more than 3,000 check-in devices had to be ready for vehicles to work with in-app vouchers...
The City Council of Prague 2 has agreed to organize this New Year’s fireworks on January 1st, in Bastion Prague area. The best spectacle of New Year’s fireworks will be seen from the Prague Congress Centre, Vyšehrad, and Nusle. It supports the campaign “I Will Not Shoot”, regarding the risks of amateur use of pyrotechnics and the impact on the life and health of people and animals. “We are sure that most Prague citizens are bothered by the amateur firing of pyrotechnics, which is mostly uncontrolled. Regarding this, we will hold a 15-minute organized display of professional fireworks to celebrate the New Year celebration,” explained Jan Korseska, Deputy Mayor of Prague 2 for transport and finance. Although the city council administration agreed in August that this year’s celebration of the new year would be without fireworks, the organizers of previous years decided to keep this tradition. They organized a transparent account and asked the support of a district for a place to fire fireworks safely. In the end, they managed to agree with Prague 2. Fireworks will be launched from the bastion near the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Charles the Great. The organizers are...
