aDue to emergency measures in response to the coronavirus epidemic, including a border closure introduced in mid-March and suspending data collections, data on tourism demand in the first quarter are only available for the period from 1 January to 13 March 2020, so they have only limited comparability with data from previous periods.  bAs a result of a border closure ordered due to the coronavirus epidemic, data collection on tourism was suspended in the second quarter of 2020, so data for the period are not available.  cDue to the coronavirus epidemic, border traffic in the third quarter was significantly lower than in the previous period, in addition, border crossing rules were tightened again from 1 September 2020, resulting in a further reduction in the number of respondents. Due to the above, the reliability of the published data has decreased and they have only limited comparability with data from previous periods.  dIn the fourth quarter of 2020, due to border crossing rules still in force and the accommodation use regulation, which entered into force on 11 November 2020, border traffic was significantly lower than usual. Due to the low number of data providers, the reliability of published data has decreased and they are only to a limited extent comparable with data from previous periods.  eAnnual data on tourism demand are not yet available due to emergency measures put in place as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, including the border closure introduced in mid-March and the suspension of data collection.  fThe accuracy of the estimate is not reliable.  Preliminary data
