Is Transportation the Most Stable Sector within the Czech Tourism Industry?

The Czech Republic is a small landlocked country in the middle of Europe with a relatively high standard of living. The economy is characterized as being open with no large stocks of raw materials or natural resources and heavily dependent on foreign trade. Industrial output is therefore the dominating force in terms of generating gross domestic product. The transportation of raw materials, semi-finished products, and people therefore plays an important role within the economy. The steady increase in tourism has also seen an increasingly stronger relationship develop between the transport and tourism sectors. This article deals with the general standards of transport for tourism as a fundamental element of the tourism industry, which connects the market with destinations. An analysis is made of the transportation sector in the tourism industry and the importance thereof.
