Prospects for tourism in Ukraine

Abstract As one of Europe's newest countries, Ukraine has as yet had little chance to develop itself as an international tourist destination, despite having been a popular domestic destination when part of the USSR. In this report, Anatolij Mazaraki, Rector of the Kiev Institute of Trade and Economics at the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Relations, and his colleague E. Voronova describe the country's diverse tourism-related resources and the kinds of tourism it hopes to attract. Considerable foreign investment will probably be needed to realize the country's potential.
