Great news for Czech lovers of Croatia as Croatia Airlines introduces a new Zagreb-Prague connection, which is set to run seasonally.

“Croatia is traditionally among the most popular foreign destinations for Czech travel enthusiasts. The Czech Republic is among the top 5 markets from which Croatian tourism generates the largest number of tourist arrivals and overnight stays. This was the case last year, when Czechs generated more than 5 million overnight stays across Croatia,” said Kristjan Staničić, Director of the Croatian National Tourist Board.

Direct international flights operating along this route are planned three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from the beginning of July to the end of October this year.

“Croatia Airlines extremely pleased to have a direct Zagreb-Prague connection on offer. These flights should be operated with new Airbus A220 aircraft, with which we’re successfully renewing the existing fleet. We’ve also created packages so that tickets on this route can be found for a price of 129 euros. In addition to this new line, we’ll also operate seasonal Split-Prague and Dubrovnik-Prague flights during the season,” emphasised Staničić.

He added that during this year’s summer tourist season, Croatia Airlines will directly connect Zagreb Airport with 23 international destinations, while it will connect Croatia with a total of 30 destinations.

It’s worth noting that last year, Czech tourists recorded the most overnight stays in Split-Dalmatia County (1.3 million overnight stays), Istria (1.1 million overnight stays) and Zadar County (931 thousand overnight stays).

When looking at things on a destination by destination, the most Czech arrivals and overnight stays were realised Umag, Vir, Medulin, Biograd na Moru and Poreč.

The most overnight stays were registered in household facilities (2.6 million overnight stays), campsites (895 thousand overnight stays) and hotels (795 thousand overnight stays).
