The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to determine the source countries travelling to Prague the most, as well as the factors which influence their arrivals.The thesis is divided into two main parts. Initially, the theoretical part introduces and defines basic terms of tourism, impacts of tourism on economy and characterises tourism of country as well as Prague. Afterwards, the practical part evaluates data of each source country individually based on the regression analysis and the forecasting method. The aim of this section is firstly to determine what economic indicators of a given country influences incoming tourism to Prague, and secondly to forecast the future value of the number of tourist arrivals to Prague from a given country.For instance, the analysis shows that in general, the exchange rate of a foreign currency to Czech koruna is less significant than the nominal GDP of a given country as a predictor of incoming tourism.
