Description
This collective monograph examines the many forms and aspects of tourism in Czechoslovakia before the November 1989 changes, marking a significant advance in research on the subject. Alongside fundamental national and regional policy trends, its individual studies explore phenomena of the period including trade-union and company holidays, tourism movements, spa treatment, cottage and holiday-home culture, and international tourism, including trips from the other side of the Iron Curtain. Thoroughly supported by sources, the book also draws on interviews with eyewitnesses and is accompanied by period photographs, bringing the landscape of contemporary history to life through specific participants and their stories.
