Slovakia expects record number of tourists in summer

Slovak tourism is expected to break records this summer with the number of visitors growing steadily for the fourth consecutive year, according to the Transport Ministry. As the Ministry's spokesperson Karolína Ducká said on Sunday, Slovakia can boast unique tourism features that are difficult to find anywhere else in the world. She also said that this summer would be positively influenced by the newly introduced recreational vouchers that can be used by domestic holidaymakers. Another positive incentive could be an increase in subsidies for tourism organisations by more than €730,000 to over €6.4 million. Most foreign tourists in Slovakia in summer come from the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, but also from Germany and the USA.
