Czech government is now offering CZK 4,000 (USD 180) per person off a Czech spa holiday. The Czech Republic is home to some of the oldest and most prestigious spas in Europe, and with tourist numbers considerably down on last year, the Czech government has announced a package worth over GBP 34 million (USD 44.76 million) to help stimulate its historic health tourism industry.

Originally aimed specifically at Czech residents, discounts are now available to UK residents as travellers begin to enjoy their first post-COVID holidays. The discount will be available to anyone booking a ‘curative, preventative stay’ of at least six nights and five cures, taking place in a Czech spa facility by the end of 2020.

Many of the spas included in this scheme are located within the West Bohemian Spa Triangle, home to the world’s highest concentration of curative water springs. For centuries these springs have helped cure respiratory diseases and Czech spas are already developing treatment programmes for those recovering from COVID-19. Now is the perfect time for a Czech spa break – the country is home to more than 30 spas catering to every need, and with tourist numbers at a minimum, visitors will have ample space to relax and unwind while benefiting from top balneology experts, highly qualified medical staff and the highest number of certificate holders among EU member states.
