Historical monuments, natural beauties, cultural gems, traditions and gastronomic specialties of the Czech Republic. All this can currently residents of Slovakia get to know. And that is thanks to the television series of gastronomic travelogues Tasty Czechia. Four episodes will guide viewers through Olomouc, South Moravian, Zlín and South Bohemian Region.
These are mini programs that Slovak television TA3 broadcasts on Tuesdays, then in reruns on Thursdays and Saturdays. All with the aim of awakening desire to know and taste the Czech Republic. "Slovaks are leading the visitor charts of the Czech Republic, 61,000 of them have come to us in October this year, which meant the second largest group of foreign guests after Germany. We are trying to further support the interest of foreigners in travelling to Czechia, as the latest figures on hotel attendance are showing that, compared to pre-Covid October 2019, there were still 25% fewer foreign tourists," says Director of the Czech Tourism Authority - CzechTourism, Jan Herget and adds: "With Slovakia, it seems like an invitation for us to be a holiday destination for Slovak residents, we have a common history and an insight into a number of things. That’s also why, among other things, we have prepared a special page for the current winter tourist season on our Kudy z nudy portal called Science and history is not boring: Czechia versus Slovakia, or what unites and divides us? So, take a look at it!”The mini gastro travelogues Tasty Czechia on TA3 are another fragment in the mosaic of reasons why Slovaks should/could 
explore Czechia. "Travel is primarily about visuality and visual perception. That's why we decided to collaborate with TA3 television and offer viewers an attractive invitation, to arouse in them desire to travel and truly experience Czechia with all the senses," says Nora Gill, Director of the Foreign Representation of the CzechTourism agency in Slovakia.

Since the travelogue also includes a regional gastro recipe, there was no shortage of instructions for the preparation of the local specialty - tartare made from Olomouc cottage cheese. Another mini program presents South Moravia, the birthplace of Alfons Mucha. 
The television, among other things, is inviting for a trip to Moravský Krumlov with the Slav Epic or to Sloupsko - Šošůvské caves. Also, to the blueprint, which is on the UNESCO list. And a regional recipe? Ivančice asparagus in the form of sweet panna cotta. In the third episode, viewers get to know the Zlín Region in particular. Specifically, Bata's town, monument and department store, as well as the Wallachian Museum in nature with the hermitages - shelters Libušín and Maměnka, the bard of Slovak architecture, Dušan Jurkovič. South Bohemia is represented in the fourth part by Český Krumlov and Třeboň, same as the famous carp fries recipe.

"Filming the show was a pleasant diversion of my up to now work. We saw a lot of interesting places, and because I like to cook, I really enjoyed preparing regional recipes. I believe that we will also inspire our viewers to do so," says host of Tasty Czechia on TA3, Simona Frantová
