Under martial law, fewer than 100,000 foreign tourists and about 170,00 domestic visitors have visited Kyiv since the beginning of the year

With the beginning of the large-scale invasion, the tourism industry of Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities face a crisis.

According to the State Border Guard Service, about 98,000 foreigners have visited Kyiv since the beginning of the year.

They aren’t tourists per se, as most of them are foreign journalists, representatives of charitable foundations and international organizations, volunteers, and politicians.

Also, according to experts, about 170,000 domestic tourists have visited Kyiv since the beginning of the year.

Digital tourism is gaining popularity in the capital.

Kyiv’s tourist and cultural hub has already been visited by over 300,000 users from 30 countries.
