Only Czechs and Belgians Banned From Travel Abroad in Europe Over Coronavirus

The Czech government banned Czech citizens from traveling abroad when declaring a state of emergency on March 16, but in an attempt to stimulate domestic demand, the government is looking to financially support Czechs who want to travel within their own country. Travel restrictions were partially eased a month later on April 14 after the government drafted a list of exceptions for those who wish to travel abroad. Since then, people traveling due to family or business reasons are allowed to leave the Czech Republic. If they stay abroad for more than 24 hours, they must undergo a two-week quarantine after returning to Czechia. Such a blanket measure banning Czechs from traveling abroad is unique compared to other countries worldwide. While most states limit the entry of foreigners into their territories, most have not explicitly restricted citizens from traveling abroad. In addition to the Czech Republic, Belgium is an exception in Europe, forbidding its citizens to travel outside the country in all “non-essential” cases, writes the New York Times. Czech law experts see no support for the travel ban Experts point out that Czech law allows the borders to be closed to those who wish to enter the country, it does...

Croatia and Czech Republic Working to Save Tourist Season

Croatia’s Tourism Minister announced that he would speak with the Czech Minister for Regional Development next week in a bid to come to a joint solution to provide conditions for Czech tourists with booked vacations in Croatia to visit this summer. Following a telephone discussion between Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and his Czech counterpart Andrej Babiš on the issue, Tourism Minister Gari Cappelli informed that he is set to speak with Czech Regional Development Minister Klara Dostalova next week to search for a way to ensure the arrival of Czech tourists in Croatia this summer. Minister Cappelli noted that tourism also falls within Minister Dostalova’s purview. “Both of us are determined to find ways of making this happen. And we plan on approaching other interesting markets with similar practices,” Cappelli said. Issues such as the possibility of re-opening tourist routes and tourism in general after coronavirus protection measures are relaxed will be discussed at the end of April at a major ministerial conference convened by Croatia. “We will also discuss various models, proposals, and opportunities for gradually resuming normal tourist traffic, including the establishment of tourist corridors, as proposed by the Czechs,” Cappelli said. The minister added that the ideas, solutions, and conditions for resuming tourism...

Prymula: “We Will Probably Ease Some Travel Curbs”

According to Deputy Minister of Health Roman Prymula, the restrictions on travel abroad will probably be eased in the next weeks. “Slovakia and Croatia are considered as possibilities, but we need an agreement with the respective countries which would have to open their borders to Czech holidaymakers”. “The Czech government is under pressure to open at least a few holiday “channels” out of the country,” he added. In mid-June, the situation will be more clear. Prime Minister Andrej Babis (ANO) added that the government will continue to explore the possibility of free travel. Croatia was the most popular foreign destination for Czechs in 2018. According to data from the Czech Statistical Office, 813,000 Czech tourists spent their holidays there. More than five million Czechs went on holiday abroad last year. On March 14, the government put a ban on entering the territory of the Czech Republic for all arriving foreigners except for foreigners with permanent or temporary (over 90 day-long) residency in the Czech Republic. All people entering the territory of the Czech Republic are subject to a fourteen-day mandatory quarantine unless stated otherwise, subject to exceptions. With effect from April 14th, foreigners residing in the Czech Republic, like Czech...
