WTO plans to develop tourism in Ukraine during the war: what is known

The organization's Secretary General, Zurab Pololikashvili, announced the initiative during his speech at the 25th session of the WTO General Assembly, which took place in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. 

This information was provided by the press service of the State Agency for Tourism Development (DART).

Zurab Pololikashvili noted that this idea involves combining the efforts of all participants in the tourism industry to resume receiving foreign tourists in Ukraine.

"I am confident that the support of all WTO member states will be very useful and will be a great start to the revival of tourism in Ukraine. We can start by organizing various events in relatively safe parts of the country or near the borders with neighboring countries," the WTO Secretary-General emphasized.

As it is known, on June 1, 2023, Ukraine received the right to chair the 68th meeting of the UN WTO European Commission, which indicates the recognition of its role in the tourism sector.

At the 69th session of the UN WTO European Commission, Ukraine, which leads the European sector, presented its tourism development program for 2024-2025.

Head of the State Agency for Tourism Development of Ukraine (DART), Mariana Oleskiv, who led the Ukrainian delegation, expressed the country's readiness to integrate into the European tourism community and invited representatives of the civilized world to plan together to revive tourism in Ukraine.

"The election of Ukraine as a permanent member demonstrates the recognition of our strength in this area and opens up new opportunities for cooperation and exchange of experience with other European and global countries. We will work to create a favorable business environment for the development of the tourism industry, promote investment and facilitate partnerships with international companies," she said.

Oleskiv also added that Ukraine has great potential to become an attractive tourist destination for people from all over the world.

How to travel to Ukraine safely?

The medical insurance policy is a mandatory document for visa-free entry to Ukraine. However, when traveling to Ukraine under martial law, it is worth taking care of an insurance policy that covers the indemnification of war-related risks. Insure your health and life in order to receive financial compensation in the event of an insured event. 

If you plan to visit Ukraine for the purpose of tourism, book an interesting and most importantly safe tour.

An important stage of preparing a trip to Ukraine is the process of purchasing tickets. To make your trip as comfortable as possible, you should choose only proven ticket purchase services. Thousands of travelers book tickets on the Visit Ukraine portal. 

 If you plan to travel to Ukraine in your own car, be sure to purchase a "Green Card" insurance policy. We talked in detail about the rules for traveling to Ukraine by car with foreign registration in this article.

We remind you! Earlier, we wrote that the American online service Airbnb and the State Agency for Tourism Development (DART) signed a memorandum according to which the platform will promote Ukraine as a tourist destination after the war.
