Travel Agents gave different evaluations for this year’s summer season in the Czech Republic.
The summer season is coming to an end in

According to the words of the director of
the “DVM-tour” Company Vladislav Salatov, there was a 15% increase in this
destination, however after the initial surge in spring there was a levelling
off in demand. “In June we witnessed an excess of flights available, which
significantly increased competition on the market. Having said this, August

Salatov reports, that excursional tours for September are already actively
being sold, and health resort tours are booked 3 months in advance, that means
