Influenced by development trends in thermal tourism in the 19th century the coasts of the upper Adriatic area become gradually important tourist destinations. The Czechs were among the most numerous tourists, but in the centres along the Adriatic Sea numerous Czechs managed hotels and were involved in the tourist development of the area. The First World War put an end to the successful growth and development of tourist destinations in the Upper Adriatic. Tourism was significantly affected by tense national and political-diplomatic relations between Italy and Yugoslavia. The number of guests coming from Czechoslovakia and other provinces of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the immediate post-war period declined. But in the following years the tourism economy gradually recovered.
