KARLOVY VARY REGION
BASIC ECONOMIC & DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
KARLOVY VARY REGION
BASIC DATA Karlovy Vary Region is situated on the western boundary with Saxony and Bavaria. It is neighboring only with two other Czech regions, Ústeck˘ and PlzeÀ. The region consists of three districts: Cheb, Karlovy Vary and Sokolov. Its area on January 1, 2006 was 3,315 km2 (4.2 % of the country’s territory, 12th largest region in Czech Republic). Only Liberec Region and Prague are less spacious. With 304,602 inhabitants (3.0 % of the country’s population) on December 31, 2006 Karlovarsk˘ was the third least populated region in the Czech Republic. There are only 132 communities in the region (the lowest number in the country). Karlovy Vary, with a population of 50,691, is regional capital. There are 13 towns with populations over 5,000 in the region. Tourism is the most important economical sector in the region. Spas in its four towns (Karlovy Vary, Franti‰kovy Láznû, Mariánské Láznû, Jáchymov) provide for about 44 % of all balneal health care in Czech Republic and over 70 % of their clientele come from abroad. Therefore the region is easily keeping itself on the top of statistics with 7.6 days as the “foreign visitor’s average length of stay,” Prague being the second (4.1 days). Accommodation and gastronomy provide for 4 percent of gross added value created in the region. Also in this respect Karlovy Vary Region is number one in the country, ahead of Prague (3.1 %). Of interest for tourists are the castles in Cheb, Loket, KynÏvart, Ostrov and Beãov nad Teplou. The mountain range of Kru‰né hory is well suited for outdoor sports. The vicinity of the Kru‰nohorská ski highway is known for its large offer of accommodation. In the last several decades there have been numerous golf courses built in the region. Large parts of the region are parts of the sanctuary Slavkovsk˘ les. There are
many bicycle paths, as well. Some universities from other parts of the country have established their affiliates in the Karlovy Vary Region. The economic college of Západoãeská universita (West Bohemia University) in Cheb is the most important among them. The importance of âZU Prague College in Cheb and UK Medical College in Mariánské Láznû is marginal. Key disciplines are tourism, balneology, and third market economy. A private university (V· Karlovy Vary) provides a bachelor degree program for students of law. Karlovy Vary Region shows extreme figures in many areas of statistics. The reason is mainly its anomalous economic structure fully focused on tourism. Besides ceramic manufacturing the most developed industries in the region are lumber, textiles and chemistry. Lately there was a certain growth in automobile spare parts production. The industrial clusters that are well established here are related to the production of musical instruments. CzechInvest agency is surveying possibilities for the building of clusters in tableware and renewable sources of energy. Karlovy Vary Region’s potential is based on self-sufficiency in raw materials for traditional industries (balneology, ceramic manufacturing, and lumber). There are many entrepreneurs in the region, a very high rate of employees in the sector of services, the highest concentration of spas in Czech Republic, one of the largest accommodation capacities and the longest average stay of foreign tourists. A high speed transport connecting Karlovy Vary to the capital (III. railway corridor and a motorway) is being built, the number of flights at Karlovy Vary Airport is to be enlarged and the age pattern of the local population is rather positive.
