Formed in 1993 after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic has made impressive gains in a short number of years to become a developed country with a high income and high living standards.
One of the gems in the nation's crown is a thriving tourist industry, which makes up over 5% of the Czech Republic's gross national product and relies on the country's long cultural history and diverse heritage. The Czech Republic’s capital, Prague, is the fifth most visited city in Europe, and it was ranked sixth on TripAdvisor’s 2016 list of best destinations in the world.
Bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Poland and Germany - its main trading partner - the Central European country hasn't been held back by its landlocked status. The Czech Republic joined the European Union in 2004 as part of the A8 group, and has since become a key player in the Union. It has the lowest unemployment rate of any member state, and its GDP is almost 90% of the EU average, among the highest in Central and Eastern Europe.
Its robust, prosperous economy gives it strong potential as a trading partner for many different businesses - over 300 British companies operate in the Czech Republic's market, and global companies run operations from Prague, including Rolls Royce and BAE Systems. ParcelBroker is able to offer affordable rates and peace of mind for anyone sending a parcel to the Czech Republic.
