Kyiv expects increase in number of tourists from Asia

"Kyiv is a city familiar to European tourists but it still remains exotic for many tourists from Asian countries. With the growth of financial possibilities of tourists from Asia, they show increasing interest in the European direction, and we have something to offer. Visit statistics also show that the EU’s initiatives of attraction of Asian tourists yield results, but these tourists are gradually “shifting” their routes to Central and Eastern Europe,” Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Vyacheslav Nepop commented.

The tourism department of the Kyiv City State Administration already takes measures to adapt Ukrainian cities to receiving tourists from Asia, including visa liberalization, availability of information in the languages of Asian countries, possibility of paying with cards of national payment systems, teaching tourism industry workers to take into account national and cultural peculiarities of tourists from Asia.
