Development of domestic tourism strategically important for Ukraine - Nemchinov

"The development of domestic tourism is now strategically important for the government, which should be a priority of the newly created agency [the State Agency for Tourism Development]. We don’t know when our citizens will be able to travel safely abroad, but we should clearly understand that upon return, there may be a mandatory observation,” Nemchinov wrote on his Facebook page following a meeting on the prospects for the development of international and domestic tourism, as well as the tourism industry reform.

According to the official, the meeting has become the first step to create a completely new model of the tourism industry in Ukraine.

Among the participants in the meeting were representatives of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy, Infrastructure Ministry, Health Ministry, Foreign Ministry, as well as the head of the State Agency for Tourism Development and the head of the subcommittee on cinematography and advertising of the parliamentary committee on humanitarian and information policy.
