Prague is in Top Ten European Cities in Number of Bednights

City tourism is constantly growing, as we can see for example from 3.6% increase in bednights in 2016 compared to 2015. Meanwhile for the first time in recent years the increase in number of domestic bednights (6%) was higher than the growth in international ones (2.3%).

In 2016 Prague with its 16.7 million bednights (+4.8%) had higher numbers than for example Vienna or Amsterdam. With 14.9 million international bednights (+3.8%) Prague fared better than Berlin, Vienna, Madrid or Budapest.

Main source markets of European city tourism remain the same. Approximately 30% of the total number of visitors comes from the United States, Germany or the United Kingdom. The amount of tourists coming from China is growing as well; in 2016 it was 2.2% higher than previous year.

The preliminary results of European Cities Marketing enquiry feature data from 62 cities, representing a total of 389.9 million bednights. Final results of the Benchmarking Report will be available as of June 2017.
