The Czech Republic has reopened its borders to UK tourists with new guidelines implemented for the safety of all their visitors. Based on the valuation of Covid-19 risks, the Czech Republic had been declared exempt from all the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice against all non-essential international travel since July 4th.

Now, the Czech tourism board is reopening to welcome visitors from all over the world, with EasyJet and Ryanair resuming flights between the two countries. The head of Czech Tourism UK & Ireland, Katarina Hobbs, said: “We are really excited about the fact that Czech Republic borders are now open to the British tourists and that our country also got on to the list of air bridges too.”

The Czech Republic’s new guidelines for the safety of all tourists

In order to protect the health and safety of all tourists, the Czech government has implemented new guidelines. The guidelines include the mandatory requirement of wearing face masks, social distancing maintained by visitors, and to pay by card or online transaction where possible. In addition, a ‘Stay Safe’ program has been announced by the Czech Association of Hotels and Restaurants, encouraging hygiene-standard compliance under a united label. To be part of this program, businesses must follow the principles of the project and the controls performed by visitors themselves.
