Czechia sees double-digit growth from India; travel moves beyond Prague

The 12.38% increase compared to 2024 said to reflect India’s growing importance as a source market.

Czechia reports double-digit growth in arrivals from India in 2025, based on official hotel occupancy statistics. The 12.38% increase compared to 2024 said to reflect India’s growing importance as a source market and aligns with trends reflecting travel beyond the capital, Prague.

While Prague remains a key gateway, Indian visitors are increasingly exploring regional locations across the country. The tourism board will continue to strengthen its monitoring framework by incorporating insights from leading online travel platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com to provide a more comprehensive overview of Indian arrivals.

Indian travellers are said to no longer limit their Czech visits to iconic landmarks alone but are incorporating countryside experiences, wine regions, heritage towns and scenic day trips into their travel plans.

Commenting on the milestone, Barbara Andelová, International Marketing Manager – New Markets, CzechTourism, said: ““The Indian traveller today is more informed, more experiential, and more willing to explore beyond the obvious. Seeing growing interest in regions such as South Moravia reinforces our strategy of promoting Czechia as a multi-region destination. Our next phase will focus on curated regional experiences, wine and gastronomy trails, heritage circuits and short-stay extensions that encourage travellers to explore multiple regions within one journey.”

CzechTourism reports to continue reinforce its presence in India through sustained trade collaborations, PAN-India workshops and focused regional storytelling that highlights experiences beyond the capital. The strategy is to position Czechia as a multi-region destination rather than a single city visit.
