The State Agency for Tourism Development (DART) has broadened Ukraine’s map of tourist attractions. As announced by the agency’s chairwoman, Mariana Oleskiv, on her Facebook page, there are now 170 such locations, and this number is not final.
“These destinations best represent our historical, cultural, architectural, and religious heritage, appealing to both Ukrainians and foreigners, whom we will be delighted to welcome after victory,” wrote the head of DART. In total, iconic tourist spots from all 25 regions of Ukraine, including Crimea, are included in the list.
Highlighting Crimea as Part of Ukraine
“Because Crimea is Ukraine, and we all know it perfectly well. After de-occupation, it will become popular because tourism is the main natural source of business for the peninsula. I am confident that Europeans will appreciate it,” Oleskiv emphasized. At the same time, she added that in the three eastern regions, which are currently partially occupied and subject to constant shelling, there are 20 tourist magnets.
“It is in the East and South, which suffer the most from Russia’s aggression, that nearly a quarter of the destroyed tourist attractions are located among those we identified in 2021,” she pointed out.
Preserving Ukraine’s Rich Cultural and Historical Heritage
The expansion of Ukraine’s tourism destinations is a significant step toward preserving and promoting the country’s rich cultural and historical heritage. With 170 must-visit places now officially recognized, Ukraine’s diverse offerings for travelers, both domestic and international, are increasingly being highlighted.
Despite the challenges posed by ongoing conflicts in certain regions, Ukraine is determined to showcase its unique attractions and welcome visitors from around the world. This initiative by DART represents a commitment to reinvigorate the tourism industry across the nation, boost local economies, and celebrate Ukraine’s rich cultural tapestry.
As these tourist destinations continue to flourish, Ukraine remains a country with endless opportunities for exploration, where travelers can immerse themselves in history, culture, and the warm hospitality of its people.
