Every year many tourists visit Ukraine and their number is constantly growing. Trends in the development of certain types of tourism are multidirectional: the number of outbound tourists is growing rapidly, domestic – is significantly reduced, inbound – is slowly declining. The total number of all tourists in Ukraine changes cyclically, having five-year cycles with peaks in 2003, 2008, 2013. Due to outbound tourists there is a sharp rise in the total number of tourists – 1.6 times in 2018 and 2.2 times in 2019. The structural composition of tourists is not homogeneous: it has flows of domestic, incoming and outgoing tourists, which is very different in the areas of Ukraine. The basis of foreign trips are tourists from post-Soviet countries and the neighbor countries. Russia is the most popular among post-Soviet countries, Poland among neighbor countries, and Italy among foreign countries (30%). The purpose of travel of Ukrainian citizens abroad is different, the main ones are: private and business trips and organized tourism. The geography of foreign routes covered all countries of Europe and the Middle East.
