I’m a tourist, but rich and busy, that’s the vision of Prague
There is a lot of nvtvnk here. Prague fulfills as it eit.
Bentky, Barcelona and Dubrovnik were surrounded by protests against tourists during the year. There are too many of them here, they told their local councilors. In Prague, no one protests against tourists, but the situation in the center is far from ideal.
A record in the sweat of tourists7 So many million tourists went to Prague last year and the number is constantly increasing. In 2016, 7.07 million people stayed in the capital, which is 460 thousand guests more than last year. |
In 2016, with a total of 16.7 million coins, Prague surpassed, for example, Vde and Amsterdam. And with a total of 14.9 million foreign guests per month, it fared better than Berlin, Vienna or Madrid, according to city statistics of the Prague City Tourism agency. Tourists are a burden. Every tenth crown of Prague’s GDP comes from tourism, and the number of tourists continues to rise, according to the Institute of Urban Planning and Development (IPR).
The possibilities of a problem with tourism are also raised by the Strategic Plan, or the plan for the development of the city until 2030. The plan has been available to the city since last November. The situation in Prague in many Bentky and Barcelona pipomn. Most of the population is concentrated in the fifth center, where, among other things, there are general and tourist shops. In Prague, we will encounter a situation where a Japanese tourist on Krlovské Cest buys Russian matryoks made in an authentic way only because there are as many people around him as in the Tokyo subway in the morning, describes IPR spokesperson Marek Vcha. According to the IPR, the metropolis should therefore focus on luring the so-called cultural tourists, who, in addition to selfies on the Charles Bridge, also visit museums, galleries and concerts outside of music.
Fewer tourists should not have a negative impact on the coffers of the city or entrepreneurs. A cultural tourist is interested in other things, the monuments are not frequented, and on average they spend 1,200 kroner more than a tourist. One of the steps to attract such new tourists was to include Mucha’s Epics in Tokyo. A positive step should lead to the creation of an air line that would facilitate Japanese travel to Mucha.
