Ukrainian resort hotels were almost entirely occupied during the Christmas-New Year holidays

Ukrainian resort hotels were almost entirely occupied during the Christmas-New Year holidays, Artur Lupashko, founder of the Ribas Hotels Group hotel chain, tells Interfax-Ukraine. Bukovel, the Carpathian mountain ski resort town, was 97% full, he said. Christina Kagui, head of resort hotels for Reikartz Hotel Group, said bookings were slow until the government assured the public that they would not be a Christmas-New Year lockdown. She said: “Official refutation of this information immediately stimulated the growth of bookings in all resorts.”
