How we calculated it
- Source: Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ), data set CRU02M — guests and overnight stays in collective accommodation (hotels, guesthouses, hostels, campsites and similar), monthly, region Hlavní město Praha, licence CC BY 4.0.
- A guest is counted once per stay; someone who checks into two hotels is counted twice. Private rentals such as Airbnb are not included.
- Countries are by the guest’s country of residence, not citizenship. Groups like “other Asian countries” are left out of the rankings.
- Changes, rankings and the infographic are Around Prague’s calculation from ČSÚ data; August figures may still be revised.
