However, while in case of vacations by the sea previously dominated Croatia, Now they prefer Italy or Spain. This stems from the current representative survey of Holiday Barometr. Informed the server idnes.cz.
The most popular destination for Czechs is still Italy (12 %) followed by Slovakia (8 %) and Spain (7 %). Other popular destinations include Egypt, Greece and Turkey. Croatia dropped out of the first three, which ruled in recent years, but the Czechs still like to ride there and in the coming weeks is expected to grow demand.
“Czechs significantly prefer abroad and up to 82 % of them are planning a holiday outside the Czech Republic,” said Michael Kasl from EUROP Assistance. Most often they go to the sea, with their family. 43 % of people are planning a holiday with children, 12 % with parents and 7 %. “The family character of holiday is more pronounced in the Czech Republic than elsewhere in Europe,” confirms KASL.
However, as far as investment in holiday is concerned, compared to other 22 countries in Europe, Asia, North America, the Middle East and Oceania, their expenses are among the lowest. The average budget of Czechs for summer holidays reaches 1400 euros, which is except Malaysia and Japan of at least all 23 monitored countries. “The survey is particularly followed by richer European countries. Nevertheless, Czechs are putting on holidays significantly less than most others,” said Lukáš Soural of EUROP Assistance.
This year, although almost half of the Czechs plans to spend on holiday a little more than last year, on the other hand Money is the main reason why some people will not go anywhere. Up to 44 % reported financial problems, 31 % saving. At the same time, the type of vacation is gradually changing. There is a growing interest in so -called slow travel, traveling to lesser known destinations or in recovery stays. On the contrary, personal growth or improving language skills is a motivation for a small number of Czechs.
