- Czech businesses support transferring oversight of tourism agency CzechTourism from the Ministry of Regional Development to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
- Tourism industry representatives say moving the agency alone will not address the sectorโs wider problems.
The Czech government plans to move CzechTourism, the agency responsible for promoting tourism, from the Ministry of Regional Development to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Czech businesses support the transfer, viewing it as a step toward placing tourism within a ministry focused more directly on economic activity. They argue, however, that the change does not go far enough.
Industry representatives say the entire tourism sector should move to the economic ministry, rather than only the agency that promotes it. In their view, tourism faces broader problems that cannot be addressed through a change in CzechTourismโs administrative oversight alone.
