UPCOMING EVENTS

Thursday, 20th February 2025

On Thursday, 20th February, the IBF, together with its partner, CMS, will be hosting one of its popular half day seminars, this time entitled ‘Tourism and Hospitality – the impact of Over-Tourism and what can be done about it?

With so many popular destinations throughout Europe starting to clamp down on and fight back against their ever-increasing numbers of tourists, we have invited a distinguished panel of experts to join us and discuss how Prague is being effected by what is now being called ‘over-tourism’. Are the ever-increasing rents of tourist flats driving out residents and traditional businesses, is there room for yet more hotels to open, who are the people that are buying up the different hotels that are being sold off, will the city finally manage to stop or reduce the number of flats that are being used for AirBNB and the like? These and many others are the type of questions that we hope will be answered during the course of what we are sure will be a fascinating morning of discussions.

The seminar is being held in the new offices of CMS, Palác Dunaj, Národní 138/10, Prague 1, and doors will open at 08:45. You can expect a light breakfast and nibbles throughout the morning, and plenty of opportunities to chat and network.
