This week the Czech Republic’s government declared a state of emergency following the invasion of Ukraine.
The Foreign Office has said that the state of emergency is a “technical move to allow the release of extra funds and prioritize refugee processing” and will not impact citizens or visitors.
Alongside the rest of Europe, the Czech Republic is working hard to accommodate refugees with an estimated 5,000 arriving daily.
Katarina Hobbs, CzechTourism’s UK and Ireland Director said: “The heart of Europe, the Czech Republic, has recently declared a state of emergency in order to access additional budgets to support incoming refugees from Ukraine. We would like to reassure travelers that tourism is continuing as usual and, as always, we invite everyone to experience our beautiful country”.
