Only 11% of Ukrainians planning to take vacation this summer

A record low number of Ukrainians are planning to take a vacation this summer - only 11%, according to a poll conducted by the human resources portal grc.ua.

The portal said this in a press release seen by Ukrinform.

According to a survey conducted in June, almost half of respondents (47%) believe that now is not the time for rest and joy. A quarter (23%) said they had lost their jobs due to the war, so they have neither the opportunity nor the desire to go on holiday.

Currently, 9% of respondents are abroad, and 6% are already on forced and unpaid leave. Another 3% do not plan to rest due to fear of losing their job.

Currently, only 11% of respondents are planning to take a vacation. Of these, only 1% intend to go on vacation abroad. Most respondents prefer domestic tourism.
