CzechTourism Announces NEW 2022 Tourism Focus: Traditions 

CzechTourism has announced their new marketing strategy for 2022, which will be centred on Czech traditions. Traditions touch every part of this historic country, from spa treatments that date back hundreds of years, to beer brewing techniques that gave the world the very first Pilsner lager. These traditions shine through in modern Czech life, from a gastronomy scene that has refined and fused traditional dishes with a modern twist, to buildings and architecture that provide a new, interesting take on more traditional architectural styles. This overarching focus will act as a guiding force for campaigns that promote the Czech Republic’s key tourism products: city breaks, outdoor adventure, spa and wellness, history and culture and green tourism. www.visitczechrepublic.com/en-US/search/traditions  

 

UNESCO awards World Heritage status to two NEW sites in the Czech Republic 

UNESCO has awarded two new sites in the Czech Republic with World Heritage status. The West Bohemian Spa Triangle which consists of Karlovy Vary, Marianske Lazne and Frantiskovy Lazne (as part of the Great Spas of Europe), in addition to the Jizera Mountains Beech Forest (as part of the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians) were the 15th and 16th sites from the Czech Republic to be added to the prestigious list. This means the Czech Republic has 10 more sites than the average country. These sites were added for their cultural significance and vital biodiversity respectively.
