According to a recent study, despite the global financial crisis, this year more than 70% of Czechs are planning to spent their holidays mostly abroad and to spend on travel greater amount than last year.
According to a study conducted by GE Money Bank, about 70 percent of Czechs are planning to spend their holidays during the next 12 months. Approximately 60 percent of surveyed want to spend their holidays abroad, mainly in Croatia, Greece, Italy, Slovakia, and Egypt. The average family with two children plans to spend over 1500 dollars on booking accommodation and flights, which considerably exceeds the amount spent on holiday last year.
The study also showed that in addition residents of the Czech Republic plan to spend about 350 dollars on gifts and entertainment that are not included in the tour price. It is noteworthy that these amounts will be spent mostly in cash, not using credit cards, exchanged money for the national currency of the country in which the vacation is planned to be spent. Also according to inexorable statistics 90 percent of Czechs take additional cash with them. About 60% will rely on bank cards only as a last resort, and only every 12th resident of the Czech Republic will use the ATM for withdrawing cash abroad.
Among other research has shown that residents of the Czech Republic are very frugal to their money and more than 75% of holidaymakers, as a rule, do not exceed the planned budget of their trip.
One of the most widespread phobias related with travel among the inhabitants of the Czech Republic are car accidents, specific diseases related to the country of vacation. One of the most common fears is cheating and stealing and especially - theft of documents.

Holidays in Bulgaria: visa-free regime for Schengen owners
The Bulgarian government decided to simplify for many tourists the procedure of entering the country. From now on all people with a valid Schengen visa can go on holiday to Bulgaria without national visa. In such way Bulgaria is preparing its structures for the upcoming country’s entry into the visa-free regime, which today functions between the EU countries.
The decision to introduce new visa rules was taken by the Bulgarian cabinet of ministers on Wednesday January 26, 2011. According to the Bulgarian cabinet, the new visa policy will spur the tourist interest and will make Bulgaria more attractive to foreign investors.
Schengen visa owners will be able to get permission to enter Bulgaria and stay on its territory for a period of up to 3 months during the six months from the date of first entry.
It should be noted that the new visa rules in Bulgaria will be useful not only for the EU citizens, but also tourists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, who have a Schengen visa.
New measures, inter alia, must stir up not only the tourism sector, but also resort property market in Bulgaria. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008 leading Black Sea resorts in Bulgaria have marked decreasing of the square meter price. Opportunity to visit the country for Schengen owners will facilitate entry of potential buyers and will indirectly stimulate the demand for Bulgarian property.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria, in 2011 its consulates issued in total 733 623 visas, which is by 18% more than in 2010.
