Abstract

The aim of this article is to test the hypotheses whether the selected cultural and historical monuments and cultural events are an inspiration for tourists to visit. Our main objective is to determine whether a statistical relationship can be detected between the number of selected monuments and cultural events in Czech Republic and the number of its visitors. All analyzed data on this cultural destination was obtained from the statistics of NIPOS (The National Information and Consulting Centre for Culture between 2008 – 2017). Historical monuments that charge admission fees were statistically analyzed. SPSS will be used to calculate the correlation coefficient. Based on the results of H1 verification, there is no statistically significant difference between the number of monuments accessible to visitors for a fee and the average number of visitors per single historical monument. According to H2 verification, there is no statistically significant difference between the number of cultural events in historical monuments and the number. of visitors attending these cultural events. Cultural monuments and cultural events are one of the alternative motivations to attract tourists to the cities. If there is no improvement in tourism infrastructure, it will be very difficult to attract visitors.

本文的目的是检验所选择的文化和历史遗迹以及文化事件是否对游客的参观有启发作用的假设。我们的主要目标是确定捷克共和国选定的纪念碑和文化活动的数量与游客数量之间是否存在统计关系。关于这个文化目的地的所有分析数据都来自NIPOS（2008-2017年国家文化信息和咨询中心）的统计数据。对收取入场费的历史古迹进行了统计分析。SPSS将用于计算相关系数。根据H1验证的结果，游客可付费参观的古迹数量与每座历史古迹的平均游客数量之间没有统计学上的显著差异。根据H2验证，历史古迹中文化事件的数量与数量之间没有统计学上的显著差异。参观这些文化活动的游客。文化古迹和文化活动是吸引游客到城市的另一种动机。如果旅游基础设施得不到改善，就很难吸引游客。
