Fresh data released at the ITB Berlin travel fair show that arrivals from India to Czechia grew by 12.38 % in 2025 compared with the previous year. CzechTourism’s international marketing manager Barbora Andelová told Travel Trends Today that the surge reflects a deliberate effort to position the country as a multi-regional destination rather than a Prague city-break. Wine routes in South Moravia, spa towns in West Bohemia and UNESCO-listed Český Krumlov are all seeing stronger occupancy from Indian leisure and MICE groups.(traveltrendstoday.in)
Practical policy tweaks underpin the uptick. The Czech embassy in New Delhi last year cut Schengen-visa appointment lead times to under ten working days by outsourcing biometrics to VFS Global satellite centres, and airlines added 20 % more capacity on Delhi–Prague one-stop itineraries via Dubai and Doha. Industry insiders say streamlined documentation and flexible ticketing have made it easier for Indian SMEs to send delegates to trade shows in Brno and Ostrava.(traveltrendstoday.in)

The diversification beyond the capital matters for regional economies grappling with labour shortages. Hoteliers in Brno report that mid-week occupancy now regularly tops 70 % thanks to South-Asian incentive travel, filling a traditional low season. Brno–Tuřany Airport is lobbying for seasonal charters from Mumbai, arguing that direct access would support the city’s fast-growing semiconductor cluster.(traveltrendstoday.in)
For mobility teams, the trend means demand for longer, multi-city itineraries and a need to brief travellers on regional transport – from e-ticketed rail services to local tourist taxes that vary by municipality. Tour operators anticipate that Czechia could break the 100,000-Indian-visitor threshold in 2026 if air connectivity and visa-processing capacity keep pace.(traveltrendstoday.in)
