In the year 2014 the Czech Republic commemorated the 10th anniversary of its joining the European Union, which leads to thinking of the general development of the country in all sectors of national life including the travel industry. As the travel industry is of great importance for the national economy of the Czech Republic, this article outlines the development of inbound tourism in the Czech Republic since that time when the Czech Republic joined the European Union, i.e. from 2004 till 2013. This anniversary seems to be a suitable opportunity to evaluate the development of inbound tourism in the course of 10 years by means of main published indicators - number of guests non-residents at collective accommodation establishments, number of overnight stays of guests non-residents, average length of stay, foreign exchange incomes. Stating facts about impacts of European Integration on the development of tourism in the Czech Republic is indispensable. The positive development of the published indicators after the year 2004 may be connected above all with our membership in the European Union. As the Czech Republic is rich in unique historic, cultural and natural heritage sites, the paper mentions attractive sites from the viewpoint of foreign visitors - some of these sites are on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List - and other prerequisites for various forms of inbound tourism.
