Brno symbolises different things to tourists of different nationalities.
“For example, for Slovaks, Brno is a symbol of success, for the Poles, a symbol of independence, and for the Germans, it’s stimulation, which is probably related to the popularity of the MotoGP among German visitors,” Councilor for Marketing and Tourism Petra Rusňáková said yesterday, according to the City of Brno’s website.
Brno attracts its visitors with its architecture and historical monuments, the website also reads.
Visitors tend to enjoy the local ‘gastroscene’. In contrast, they have a negative view of the traffic situation in this city of frequent road limitations and insufficient parking space.
“The desire of tourists to return to Brno is very strong, as was indicated by 86% of them,” said Head of Marketing and Foreign Relations of the City of Brno Barbora Podhrázská in the official press release.
The City of Brno aims to increase the number of visitors by 25% (20% for domestic visitors and 30% for foreign visitors) by 2020.
