The World Tourism Organization is creating a working group to support tourism and the economy of Ukraine. The proposal is to start organizing events in safe regions.
The Secretary-General of the organization, Zurab Pololikashvili, announced the initiative during the opening speech at the 25th session of the UNWTO General Assembly, according to the press service of the State Agency for Tourism Development (SATD).
At the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) session, which began in Samarkand (Uzbekistan), a working group to support tourism in Ukraine is being proposed. Zurab Pololikashvili emphasized that the organization aims to unite the efforts of all members of the tourism community and do everything possible to restore inbound tourism to Ukraine.
"I am confident that the support of all UNWTO member countries will be very beneficial and an excellent start to the revival of tourism in Ukraine. We can start by organizing various events in relatively safe parts of the country or near the borders with neighboring states," suggested the UNWTO Secretary-General.
