This paper deals with relations between Czechoslovakia and Germany in the sphere of tourism. The interwar period was a significant phase in the development of this industry. German tourists represented the largest group of foreign visitors. German clients became irreplaceable especially for West Bohemian spas; their economic situation was significantly affected by the decline in the German visit rates in the 1930s. Besides the economic depression, the tourism between Czechoslovakia and Germany was affected by the political change that took place in Germany in 1933. Due to the economic depression, clearing agreements were newly made in the tourist industry too, because they ensured at least some economic relations between the new isolating economies. Tourism helped the settlement of frozen outstanding debts. Tourism also played this new role between Czechoslovakia and Germany.

Keywords: Czechoslovakia, Germany, tourism, economic relations
