After nearly fifteen years, Czechia has reopened its Consulate General in Mumbai. The move signals a renewed focus on Czechia tourism India, along with deeper cultural and economic ties.
The reopening event, held in December 2025, brought together representatives from CzechTourism, Prague Airport, CzechTrade, and the diplomatic community.
Easier Travel for Indian Tourists
One immediate impact is improved access to Schengen visas for travellers from western and southern India. Applicants no longer need to travel to distant cities for visa processing.
This change is expected to significantly boost outbound travel to Czechia.
Beyond Prague: Expanding the Czech Travel Narrative
Czechia is positioning itself beyond a single-city destination. Tourism campaigns highlight South Moravia’s vineyards, Karlovy Vary’s wellness spas, Český Krumlov’s heritage charm, and Brno’s cultural life.
The goal is to diversify itineraries and encourage longer stays.
Unified Strategy to Deepen India-Czech Relations
At the launch, CzechTourism highlighted a unified “One Czechia” vision. The strategy integrates tourism, education, trade, MICE, and cultural exchange.
India now ranks among Czechia’s fastest-growing outbound markets, making it a priority for long-term engagement.
What 2026 Holds for Czechia Tourism India
As Czechia gears up for its 2026 marketing push, Indian travellers can expect stronger partnerships, targeted roadshows, and collaborative storytelling.
For India, the renewed consular presence opens access to one of Europe’s most culturally rich destinations. For Czechia, it marks a strategic step toward deeper, experience-driven tourism ties.
