In 2006 some 6,435,474 foreign tourists travelled to the Czech Republic and used the services of registered accommodation facilities. This represents an increase of 1.6% on 2005. Prague remains the most popular destination, but the greatest growth in visitor numbers (18.2%) was seen in the Carlsbad Region which held on to second place. The South Moravian Region occupied its traditional third place, recording an 8.1% growth in foreign visitor numbers. Through its various activities the state financed agency CzechTourism can take some credit for increasing the number of visitors to the Czech regions.
