The biggest number of tourists in Prague from July to September, around 250,000, traditionally came from Germany. This figure represents an increase by nearly eight percent on the same period last year.

239,000 Poles spent at least one night in Czech accommodation, 15 percent more than a year ago. Slovaks are in the third position (233,000 guests), followed by Americans and Chinese.

Compared to last summer, all Czech regions saw an increase in tourists with the exception of Vysočina, where the number of foreign visitors decreased.

Since January, the number of tourists from China, the United States, and Poland has been increasing, while the number of British, Italian and South Korean visitors fell year-on-year.
