The state of tourism in Ukraine during the war

Abstract

One of the noticeable changes in the tourism industry of Ukraine has been the change in preferences for holiday regions. Earlier in the summer, most tourists preferred a seaside holiday, and a much smaller proportion chose a summer holiday in the mountains. But with the outbreak of the war, most of the popular seaside resorts of the Azov and Black Seas became completely inaccessible. And those that are available have become unsafe. The official opening of the sea season this year did not happen, although it was planned to open several beaches in the Odessa and Nikolaev regions.
