With a direct connection to the Taiwanese capital, Taipei, Prague now stands alongside Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Rome, and Vienna. The connection is available twice a week and the carrier uses Airbus A350-900 aircraft to operate the Taipei – Prague route.
“Direct air connections, their frequency and quality are of vital importance for tourism. We believe that thanks to the Prague – Taipei flights, the Czech Republic will once again be discovered more by tourists not only from Taiwan but from all over Asia, who represent a very interesting tourism segment. If we take the average spending of tourists from China, Japan and South Korea in our country, we can see a gradual return of these foreign guests. While in 2019 they spent a total of CZK 4,860 per person per day in the Czech Republic, a year later it was CZK 3,888 and in 2021 it was even only CZK 2,170. Last year, the situation began to improve – the average spending of these Asian travellers in our country was CZK 4,321 per person per day,” says Jan Herget, director CzechTourism, adding: “The good news is that, as well as spending, the number of travellers from Asia is growing. The data on hotel accommodations in the Czech Republic from May this year shows that the number of Taiwanese tourists increased by 2,753 per cent year-on-year, from 393 to 11,213.”
In terms of routes to Asia and the Middle East, Prague Airport currently offers connections to Amman, Dubai, Doha, Kuwait, Muscat, Riyadh, and Seoul.
