Featured Destination of the Month:The Czech Republic

The Czech provinces have been subject to Europe's shifting empires, from the Great Moravian Empire to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, later becoming Czechoslovakia and finally gaining a separate identity as a republic, under the leadership of famous dissident and playwright Vaclav Havel, who served as its first president. Throughout these political transitions, it has retained its status as a European cultural center. Today it is one of the most prosperous and developed of the formerly Communist countries. Its economy continues to experience dynamic growth, due to increased exports, foreign investors and an entrepreneurial business environmnent.
