Czechoslovak tourists in the German Democratic Republic in the seventies
Opluštilová, Pavla ; Szobi, Pavel (advisor) ; Kozmanová, Irena (referee)
In this bachelor thesis I focused on Czechoslovak tourism to the German Democratic Republic in the seventies of the twentieth century. In my thesis I tried to describe the term "normalization", which significantly affected conditions for travelling abroad for Czechoslovak tourists at that time. I attempted to analyze individual and family holidays abroad of Czechoslovak citizens as well as tours organized by businesses. I mainly focused on recreational stays and shopping trips for scarce commodities. The aim of my thesis was to find out the cause of the appeal of the German Democratic Republic for Czechoslovak tourists and these tourists` main travel themes. I also dealt with the sort of goods which tourists purchased and which they brought back to Czechoslovakia. In sum, practical impossibility to travel to capitalist states for most people and the lack of some kinds of goods on the domestic market affected the development of international tourism to the German Democratic Republic.
