In the first quarter of 2024, representatives of the Ukrainian tourism industry paid UAH 616 million 391 thousand to the budget, which is 61% more than in the same period of 2023 (UAH 383 million 221 thousand). This was reported by the press service of the State Agency for Tourism Development (DART).


How many foreigners entered Ukraine in the first quarter of 2024 and from which countries did they come most often? Find out in this article.


Restoring the tourism industry during the war


DART noted that before the full-scale invasion in 2021, state budget revenues for the first quarter amounted to UAH 629 million 135 thousand. This shows that the tourism industry has not only adapted to the difficult wartime conditions but is also actively developing.


Mariana Oleskiv, Head of DART, emphasized that tourism creates jobs and supports local communities, and taxes from this industry are an important part of the economy, which is now working to support the Ukrainian army.

Hotels accounted for the largest share of revenues (64%), paying UAH 395 million 194 thousand, which is 69% more than in the same period of 2023 (UAH 233 million 693 thousand). It is also interesting that revenues from the activities of tour operators doubled to UAH 88 million 727 thousand against UAH 44 million 854 thousand in 2023.


Tax revenues from travel agencies increased to UAH 50 million 330 thousand, which is 48% more than in 2023 (UAH 33 million 844 thousand). The budget received UAH 36 million 180 thousand from campgrounds and children's recreation camps, which is 41% more than in the same period last year.
