Ukraine ready to become transit country for people traveling between Europe and China – Nemchinov

“Having introduced a visa-free travel regime, Ukraine is ready to become a transit country for people traveling between Europe and China. We will also be glad to see tourists in Ukraine. Our aviation market is open to the establishment of direct flights by Chinese airlines. We can start with the most-visited cities of Ukraine - Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa," Nemchinov wrote on Telegram.

The minister noted that despite the COVID-2019 pandemic, passenger traffic flow from China has increased.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky introduced a temporary visa-free regime for Chinese citizens entering Ukraine for tourism purposes for the period from August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021.

Despite the one-sidedness of such a decision, Ukraine demonstrates its readiness for important joint steps and cooperation in the tourism sector, Nemchinov added.
