The war decreased the flow of foreigners to Ukraine by nearly 50%.

 About 2 million foreign citizens entered Ukraine in 11 months of 2022, which is half as much as in the same period last year, said the head of the State Tourism Development Agency, Maryana Oleskiv. According to her, they are not tourists, but journalists, volunteers, and representatives from international organizations. But still, they use the services of the industry: hotels, restaurants, transportation, and related services. At the same time, for 9 months of the year, receipts to the state budget from the tourism industry decreased by almost 34% to UAH 1.18B. At the same time, the increase in the amount of tax paid for 9 months was recorded in the Lviv region for UAH 197M against last year’s UAH 151M, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region was UAH 136M against almost UAH 104M last year, and in the Kyiv region was UAH 120M against UAH 89M in 2021.
