A strategy for the development of tourism in the region is aimed towards the creation of a profitable industry, which should provide domestic and foreign tourists with services and strengthen the interconnectedness of tourism with other spheres of the Ukrainian economy.
A simplified procedure for entrance into the territory of Ukraine through Odessa will bring both an increased number of cruise ships and a greater tourist flow. A new visa regime is aimed first of all at developing 3-to-5 day weekend programs as the most popular type of active leisure among Western tourists.
It is planned to construct new, and reconstruct and modernize existing, tourism and recreational facilities through funds obtained via domestic enterprises and the attraction of domestic and foreign investments. Attention will be paid to the creation of a modern informational and marketing service in tourism and the running of international tourism trade fairs.
