destinations among Czech tourists are Croatia
and other Mediterranean Countries in Europe
as well as in Africa. Among the top five
destinations, there are also destinations in the
Caribbean.
The key components
Transport – means of transport
The way tourists go to their destination and the
way they move around while on a trip or
holiday.
Popular means of transport
The means of transport depend on the distance
of the destination from home, but also on the
comfort the traveller wants and also on the
price.
Among Czech tourists, the car is the most
popular choice. The second most popular is
the plane - when travelling to faraway
destinations and coaches for closer places.
Means of Transport
Many people combine air transport with a car.
That is especially used when travelling to the
USA or other overseas destinations.
Trains are very comfortable but much less
popular. Probably for their higher price.
