It’s funny because praha and Czechia wouldn’t be what they are today (one of the richest countries in eastern europe) without the tourism. People talk a lot about NIMBYism, this is it.
- inglor_cz 5y agoNonsense. Tourism was 3 % of our GDP in 2019 and half of that number is internal tourism (Czechs traveling around their own country). Nice to have, but far from crucial. This is an old industrial country, a former industrial hotspot of the Austrian empire. A few very old cities (Telč, Český Krumlov) really live off tourism and would collapse without it, but Prague is a modern metropolis and mostly lives off normal economic activity, just like any other major city in Europe.
