Ukraine teams up with travel Inc. to prepare for post-war tourism
Ukraine's state tourism agency has closed deals with several travel companies, including Airbnb, Expedia and VisitBerlin, to help promote the country as a tourist destination once the war with Russia is over, its head said on Wednesday. A key project would be a route of war sites running from Irpin, near the capital Kyiv, to Chernobyl, crossing cities such as Bucha and Hostomel, said Mariana Oleskiv, chairperson for the State Agency for Tourism Development (SATD). "The easiest way is to forget but then you need to work through that trauma and we need to tell it to the next generation first of all but also to international visitors," she said, speaking on the sidelines of a travel fair in Berlin.
