The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has announced the 52 best tourism villages of 2025, with the list including Kolochava and Synevyrska Polyana, both located in Ukraine's western Zakarpattia region.

UNTWO said this in a press release seen by Ukrinform.

The World Tourism Organization highlighted communities from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In total, according to the UN, 52 villages were included in the list of the best tourist destinations.

Additionally, 20 villages have been selected to join the UN Tourism Upgrade Programme, which aims to help communities improve their performance in areas the jury deemed weaker. Altogether, all 72 villages became part of the Best Tourism Villages (BTV) Network, which now unites 319 settlements.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the World Tourism Day, which is celebrated on September 27, all museums in Zakarpattia introduced "free admission hours."
