Last year entering Ukraine without visa was tried in Odessa and Simpheropol. The term of staying was 7 days. Permission for such staying is three times cheaper than visa. Foreigners need to have voucher of tourist company, invitation, fulfilled application form and $30 to receive permission to stay in Ukraine for 7 days.
As State Committee of Statistics informs, 12.8 million foreigners visited Ukraine last year. 6.3 million of them came as tourists, 1.2 million were on business trips, 0.7 million came by organised trips and 4.4 million came on own business. As specialists forecast, number of tourists will increase by 10-12% this year.
