The tourist potential of the Czech Republic is immense. Some of the world- renowned and oft-visited locations in our country include various spas, such as Karlovy Vary or Marianske Lazne, famous not only for thier rich history and the high standard of their treatment procedures, but also for being important cultural and social centers. The capital Prague is considered to be one of the most prominent European cities thanks to its unique allure and atmosphere. Nevertheless, there are plenty of other attractions elsewhere in the country that are part of our cultural and historical heritage, our natural treasure. Tourism is generally regarded – taking into consideration its multiplying effect –as the industry of the future. This is also the case in the Czech Republic, where tourism is one of the fastest developing industries in our economy, which increases the state budget revenues considerably and at the same time influences the development of particular regions in which the vast majority of tourist activities take places. According to the latest surveys, the MICE tourism is one of the most important and at the same time effective growth segments in the Czech Republic and requires a wide spectrum of top-level services and a proactive approach from all of the regions of our country. Events that are part of congress or incentive tourism significantly boost the attractiveness of tourism in general. It is in our interest that this area of tourism is developed in the Czech Republic, not only in our capital Prague, where most of the events of congress tourism take place, but also in other regions of our country, to which I cordially invite you. Jiří Čunek Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Regional Development A CzechTourism information centre, where you can get all necessary information and promotion materials about the Czech regions, is located in the historical building of the Ministry For Regional Development on the Old Town Square.

    Chapters in the History of Karlovy Vary

    Chapters in the History of Karlovy Vary. Dr Stanislav Burachovič 1. The Spa Founded by Emperor Charles IV. The origin and development of Karlovy Vary has always been inseparably linked with the beneficial effects of its local thermal mineral springs. They have marked its history, architecture, economy, and its entire genius loci. The popular legend about the discovery of the local springs in the middle of the 14th century by Charles IV, King of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Emperor, while deer hunting has to be relegated to the realm of fantasy. The establishment of a little spa town on the confluence of the Ohře (Eger) and Teplá (Warm) Rivers during the reign of Charles IV surely wasn’t such a random and romantic enterprise as told in the old legend, but it was the almost expected developmental consequence of a place that had been long known for its curative and cultic traditions. The exact date the town was founded is unknown. The beginnings of a permanent settlement at the thermal site should be placed sometime around the year 1349. However, traces of man’s presence in the vicinity of Karlovy Vary are much older. Archaeological explorations discovered evidence of several settlements situated in the current territory of the town that date back to prehistoric times. It has been clearly shown that people already populated the immediate surroundings of Karlovy Vary in the 13th century. It is presumed that they were already well aware of the healing effects of Karlovy Vary’s thermal waters and were using them for treatment.

    Report on the Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic 1998-1999 Preface Developments in the Czech Republic are increasingly influenced by international events, and participation in international cooperation is intensifying. This creates a growing need for information about the conduct of foreign policy. In its endeavour to offer the public detailed information on Czech foreign policy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic has decided to issue a “Report on the foreign policy of the Czech Republic between July 1998 and December 1999”. This is the first time a Report has been drawn up in such a way and in such a comprehensive form. This is an effort by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to respond to new conditions and requirements. The Report offers a straightforward and clear view of Czech foreign policy during the period under review. It has been conceived in such a way as to make it easier for readers to find their bearings in the extensive factual material. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs intends to issue similar Reports in the years to come, thus establishing a new tradition with the aim of bringing foreign policy closer to every citizen of the Czech Republic.

The town of Karlovy Vary is situated approximately 120 km from Prague and the nearest border crossing with Germany, Boží Dar, is mere 28 km away. Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) in history The origin of the town is tied with the traditional legend about tects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. We will name at least Charles IV, who allegedly came across the hot springs during the the Grandhotel Pupp, the Hot Spring Colonnade, the Imperial Spa, a ride through the Loket forests in the year 1350. Although some of theatre building, the Park Spring Colonnade, or the Goethe‘s Look- the archaeological finds certainly indicate that this place was known out. long before it was discovered by Charles IV, the emergence of the town and the first settlement is attributed to him.
