Impact of Tourists on the Economy - AmCham Hospitality Recovery Proposal
International tourism contributes more to the country’s economy than is revealed in national statistics. Not only do tourists serve an “export” role by spending income earned abroad at Czech hotels and in other industries designated as the tourist sector, but tourists also support the restaurant, retail, culture, banking (through withdrawal fees), telecommunication, and transport industries. National and city assessments of the economy do not assess this impact. We estimate, conservatively, that tourists contribute CZK 11,189 per night spent in Prague.

Negotiations via videoconference – the legal practitioner’s point of view in the Czech Republic
In recent days, we have again reverted to frequent communication (and negotiation) via videoconference. But what are the legal aspects of this way of communicating?
In recent days, face-to-face conversations in meeting rooms have again been replaced by conversations over the phone or – more frequently – in the form of video conferences. It is not uncommon for contracts to be negotiated remotely in this manner. Of course, negotiations via videoconference have their own legal aspects. The following article presents some of them, and suggests rules and best practices.
