The Threat Of Floods In The Czech Republic

[IMG=19419-5155] The authorities of the Czech Republic are concerned about unfavourable weather conditions – the water level in rivers has increased due to intensive snow melting – which might result in floods. 69 Czech towns are at the threat of flood. Nevertheless, travel companies, which deal with the Czech destination, doubt the seriousness of the threat. Thus, General Director of Mornava Corporation, Natalia Shalunovskaya, said to a BANKO correspondent that there had been no information from tourists about any natural disasters in the country despite the daily contact with them. ‘In the south part of the Czech Republic some excursions to natural sites were postponed due to rains. As for Prague the weather was sunny yesterday’, said Shalunovskaya. Furthermore, Karen Gazanchan, Director of Amigo – tour, thinks mass media exaggerates the extent of the problem making the following example: in 2002 our tourists even did not notice the flood which was covered by mass media’. According to him, at the moment tourists do not complain about the weather in the country and the tourist flow to the Czech Republic is growing’.
