Foreword
According to most international data and domesticstatistics, Ukraine remains a highly attractive market
for the tourism and leisure industry. All of us are very
much looking forward to Euro 2012 and I may take the
opportunity to cordially invite you to visit us from 08.
June till the finals in Kiev on July 1st. We are well aware
that nobody makes a large scale investment just for a
wonderful tournament. Investments must pay off! We
see this event as a milestone in the development of
the Ukrainian tourism industry and as a tool to leverage
the development and international integration of our
economy.
Our participation at the International Hotel Investment
Forum in Berlin sends a clear message to hotel operators
and investors alike: come to Ukraine. Look for your
opportunity and you will find it. If you invest then now
is the right moment. Major investments in the hotel
industry will benefit from substantial incentives.
And our Government is determined to continue creating
a favorable business environment and to particularly
promote the tourism industry. Here we see an important
sector which in the past did not get the attention it
deserves. This will go well beyond 2012.
We are sure many of those more than 1 million visitors
who will come to Ukraine to celebrate a holiday of
the European family and the billion television viewers
will like Ukraine. For us Euro 2012 is a chance we are
determined to take.
We would like to draw your attention to the highlights in
our country. We switch on Ukraine. This booklet offers
some investment projects which may be of interest to
you. There is much more.
Come in, talk to us and switch on your Ukraine.
Yours sincerely
Borys Kolesnikov

PART 1 MARKET ANALYSIS
Tourism in Ukraine has a huge potential. Just to catch
up with the average market supply number of hotels per
thousand inhabitants Ukraine would need almost ten
times more hotels compared to what it has in 2011.
With a population of more than 45 million people and
being the second largest country in Europe, Ukraine
has little less than 1.000 Hotels. In most other tourist
destinations in Europe the ratio of hotels per thousand
inhabitants is much higher. A great number of hotels
still date back to the old soviet times. They are in great
need of modernization.
The internationally renowned consulting group Roland
Berger recently estimated the growth rate for tourism in
Ukraine in the coming years with 8 percent annually in
the coming years. Official Ukrainian sources are more
modest and forecast a steady growth of 4 percent per
year. To stimulate investments the Government provides
strong iincentives. New modern airport terminals are
being built to serve the visitors for Euro 2012, where all
together more than 1 million guests are expected.
Currently, every year between 20 and 25 million peoplevisit the country. Ukraine's tourism industry recovers
from the crisis and shows a clear upward trend. Visitors
come mainly from neighbouring countries, the lion's
share from Russia.
Crimea and Kiev attract some 60 percent of the in-
bound tourism. In the West it is Lwiw (Lemberg) that
sticks out with some one million visitors per year. In
rankings of the World Tourism Organization, Ukraine was
in 2008 among the top 10 of international destinations.
This brochure is meant to give an overview on latest
market developments in Ukraine. It is based on figures
provided by the National Statistical Office of Ukraine.

RT1:MARKETANALYSISIncentives for Euro 2012 investments
One of the conditions for Ukraines hosting Euro 2012
finals is the qualitative and timely preparation of the
hotel enterprises. Ukraines major task in preparing
the accommodation infrastructure is meeting all UEFA
requirements on the quantity of the hotel rooms in
regards with the categories 3*, 4* to 5* to accommo-
date UEFA family.
According to UEFA requirements Ukraine is to provide
15.555 rooms in category 3*-5* hotels for accommoda-
tion of UEFA target groups. 366 hotels are to be secured
by the end of November 2011. In order to do that it isplanned to reconstruct 267 operating hotels and to
finish the construction of 99 hotels. In particular, 45
hotels should be built in Kyiv, 24 in Lviv and 15 hotels
in Donetsk and Kharkiv each, with the total capacity
of 15.137 rooms.
The state provides attractive incentives for investors and
operators. All hotels with more than a 3 stars category
have begun to modernize in 2011 and will be finished in
September 2012. The hotels will enjoy profit tax vacation
for 10 years.
After a sharp decline as consequence of the financial
crisis in 2009 Ukraines travel industry is back. In 2010,
little more than twenty one million foreign tourists visited
Ukraine. This is about 2 percent or 380.000 persons more
than in 2009. The increase of the incoming stream volume
in the year of 2010 was due to increase of the number
of trips mainly with a private purpose.
Russians remain important group
Private trips increased by 4 percent. With 20 percent or
1, 2 million persons the greatest increase was recorded
for the tourists from Russia by 20 percent, Slovakia by
14 percent or 70.000 persons, Hungary by 16 percent
or 124.000 persons followed by Belarus and Germany.
However, the organized tourism decreased by 17 per-
cent. The greatest decrease of the tourist stream isobserved from Belarus, Canada Poland and Russia.
Trips for business purposes decreased by 10 percent.
The greatest decrease of the tourist stream is observed
from Latvia, Poland and Russia.
In the incoming tourist streams the share of the orga-
nized tourism decreased by 7 percent in 2009 and up
to 6 percent in 2010; the share of the private tourism
decreased by 89 percent in 2009 and up to 90 percent
in 2010; the share of the business trips remained at 4
percent, as it was in 2009.
Decrease of the incoming tourists from the EU countriesoccurred mostly due to the descent number of travellers
from Poland, Great Britain, Denmark and Romania.
Increase of the incoming tourist from the Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS) occurred mostly due to the
rising of the number of travellers from Azerbaijan,
Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Russia.

Outbound tourism growing as well
The outgoing tourist stream in 2010 was 17,2 million
persons and in comparison to 2009 increased by 12
percent or 1, 8 million persons.
The outgoing tourist stream increased due to the trips
for the private purpose and business trips. Business
trips increased by 3 percent due to the increase of the
number of Ukrainian tourists travelling to the following
countries: Germany (by 11 percent or 5.300 persons),
Russia (by 45 percent or 54.700 persons), Slovakia (by
46 percent or 11.000 persons), Turkey (by 2 percent or
8.000 persons) and Hungary (by 16 percent), Russia
(by 27 percent or 53,700 persons) and Turkey.
Increase of the outgoing tourist stream from the EU
countries was mostly due to the increase of the number
of Ukrainian tourists travelling to the following countries:
Poland (by 35 percent or 1 million persons), Germany
(2 times or by 193.300 persons), Italy (by 13 percent
or 13.100 persons), Greece (by 61 percent or 24.000
persons), Hungary (by 12 percent or 186.700 persons).
Increase of the outgoing tourist stream from the CIS
countries was mostly due to the increase of the number
of Ukrainian tourists travelling to the following countries:
Georgia (by 32 percent or 7.700 persons), Belarus(by 9 percent or 98.800 persons), Kazakhstan (by
63 percent or 1.900 persons), Russia (by 5 percent or
251.900 persons) and Turkmenistan (by 42 percent
or 2.800 persons).

In 2009 there were 1.684 different hotel facilities
comprising 174.400 accommodation units in Ukraine.
According to the functional structure of the hotel enter-
prises on the territory of Ukraine the temporary
accommodation services in 2009 were provided by:
858 hotels,
26 motels,
5 hotel and office centres,
9 campsites,
54 youth tourist camps and mountain shelters, 184 hostels,
548 other places for temporary residence.
The number of hotels in Ukraine has increased by 20
enterprises or 2,4 percent in comparison to the year of
2008. Despite of this growth Ukraine is still a good deal
behind his neighbour Poland. In comparison Poland in
2009 there are 1.809 Hotels and in 2010 1.900 Hotels
and figures will go up to 2.100 hotels. (Source: Germany
trade and invest) Germany, one of the leading countries
in hotel business has about 17.800 Hotels.
The most widespread form of accommodation in Ukraine
are hotels (51,0 percent of overall quantity of hotel
enterprises) and other places for temporary residence
(32,6 percent), the latter along with the traditional hotel
enterprises offer to their clients the full range of services
on reception, accommodation, food and serving.
In some regions, especially during vacation season,
other places for temporary residence are able to accom-
modate more clients than the main hotel enterprises.
They include season recreation zones, little summer
houses, cottages etc., that seem to provide temporary
accommodation during the vacation period. In 2009there were 407 such enterprises or 74,3 percent of
overall quantity of other places for temporary residence.
Most of them were in Kherson (99), Mykolajiv (93),
Louhansk (42), Cherkassy (25), Dnipropetrovsk (22)
and Chernihiv (19) regions.
Hostels occupy third place in systematization of hotel
enterprises by type. In 2009 there were 184 enterprises
comprising 11.900 accommodation units. Other types
of enterprises, such as motels, hotel and office centres,
campsites, youth tourist camps and mountain shelters
that due to their accommodation capacity and functio-
nality are widespread in many countries and play an
important role in the branch development, in fact are
not well developed in Ukraine.
The increase in the hotel quantity was observed in the
Lviv region by 7 hotels, in the Crimea region by 5 hotels;
in Transcarpathian and Donetsk regions and in the city
of Kyiv by 4 hotels in each one respectively; in Kyiv,
Mykolajiv and Chernivtsi regions by 2 hotels respective-
ly; in Zaporizhya, Ivano-Frankivsk, Cherkassy regions
and in the city of Sevastopol by one hotel in each listed
area respectively.
Along with that fact there was a decrease in the number
of hotels comparing with 2008 in Louhansk region by 3
hotels; in Poltava, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and Chernihiv
regions by 2 hotels in each region respectively; in
Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr and Odesa regions by one hotel
in each one respectively. The decrease in the number
of hotels mostly occurred due to their sale to somephysical persons or transfer for reconstruction of
housing, offices and medical buildings.
10 percent of Hotels in Kiev
In Ukraine most hotels are located in the city of Kyiv
(10 percent of overall number of hotels), Lviv region
(6 percent), the Crimea (7,2 percent), Dnipropetrovsk
region (6,9 percent), Donetsk region (6,5 percent),
Odessa region (5,5 percent), Louhansk (4,8 percent)
and Chernihiv (4,3 percent) regions, and that is connected
with high level of their industrial development, the
presence of touristic centres or resort areas.

The total accommodation capacity of Ukrainian hotelsfrom 2000 to 2004 inclusive was constantly reducing
while using less than one third of the accommodation
reserve. Significant improvement of the situation is
being observed starting from 2006 and this positive
tendency still remains.
Hotel Capacity in Ukraine close to 80.000 beds
In 2009 the total accommodation capacity of hotels
has increased in comparison to 2008 by 2,000 beds
and thus has amounted to 77.600 beds. In 2009 the
average accommodation capacity of the hotels was not
high and comprised 90 beds while the average accom-
modation capacity of other places for temporary resi-
dence was 142 beds and the capacity of one youth tou-
rist camp and mountain shelter 107 beds.
Hotel Supply in Ukraine way behindinternational average
The hotel provision index is determined by the number
of hotel beds for 1.000 citizens. 1,7 hotel beds for
1.000 citizens was Ukraines index in 2009 comparing
to 1,6 in 2008; 4,6 hotel beds was the index of Kyiv in
2009 comparing to 4,5 in 2008 which is significantlyless than in the prevailing majority of the worlds de-
veloped countries. For instance, the number of hotel
beds for 1.000 citizens is approximately 10-20 in Bulgaria,
Hungary, Poland, Great Britain, USA, France and
Germany; 23-25 in Italy, Spain and Canada. The hotel
provision index for 1.000 citizens in the Crimea was
higher than Ukraines average one 4,5 hotel beds com-
paring to 4,1 in 2008; 3,5 hotel beds compared to
2008s 3,3 was the index of the city of Sevastopol; the
regions of Transcarpathians, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk,
Odessa and Chernivtsi had the hotel provision indices
that did not differ much from the ones in 2008 ranging
from 2,6 to 1,8 hotel beds.
Use of capacities slightly lower than inEU countries
The average annual coefficient of capacity usage of
Ukrainian hotels changed every year during the previous
10 years. The coefficient amounted from 0,25 in 2000
to 0,28 in 20012002, reached 0,32 in 2003, grew to
0,34 and remained such in 20042006, increased to
0,35 in 2007, but then it tended to go down to 0,31 and
0,23 in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Minimal usage of
the hotel capacity 0,10 was observed in Louhansk
and Kherson regions, 0,12 in Ivano-Frankivsk region,
0,15 each in Zhytomyr and Ternopol regions, 0,16 eachin Donetsk and Chernivtsi regions, while the maximum
one 0,35 was in the city of Kyiv. The coefficient
ranged from 0,30 to 0, and 27 in Kharkiv, Kyiv and
Chernihiv regions and in Sevastopol. It should be noted
that the coefficient in EU countries is 0,36.
The total duration of staying period affects to some
extent the coefficient of capacity usage of hotels. In the
whole the coefficient dynamics was positive during pre-
vious years, nevertheless as from 2008 on there has
been a noticeable tendency towards a reduction of
duration of staying periods in hotels. Thus, in 2008 the
whole staying time reduced in comparison with 2007
by 981.400 people per day or by 10,4 percent and was
8.437.000 people per day; in 2009 comparing to 2008
this coefficient decreased by 2.055.500 people per day
or by 24,4 percent and was 6381.400 people per day.
The decrease of the total duration of staying period
occurred almost in all Ukrainian hotels. The biggest
reduction of staying time comparing to 2008 was obser-
ved in Kyivs hotels by 644.200 people per day; in
Volyn region by 114.300 people per day, in Lviv region
by 113.300 people per day, in Dnipropetrovsk region
by 112.200 people per day and in Odesa region by
105.600 people per day. It is the result of the worldseconomic crisis that influenced all economic sectors in
Ukraine and the hotel economy in particular.
Average staying period
As from 2000 the average duration of a visitor staying
period (including foreign visitors) in Ukrainian hotels
was about 3 days, in 2008-2009 a bit more than 2
days.

The efficiency of the hotel usage depends on many fac-tors: service quality, star category of hotels, and pres-
ence of structural subdivisions that provide additional
services, comfort and technical equipment of the
rooms.
In 2009, there were 42.800 rooms (in 2008 42.200) in
the country hotels, in the whole their living space
increased comparing to 2008 by 44,2 thousand meters
square and was 975,800 meters square. The average
living space of one hotel room was 22,8 meters square
(in 2008 22,1 meter square). The increase in the num-
ber of rooms and their living space was connected withthe growth of hotel quantity in some regions.
Thus, in comparison to 2008 the room number in
Dnipropetrovsk region increased by 265 hotel rooms
or 11,2 percent, in the Crimea by 227 rooms or 5,4
percent, in Kyiv region by 173 rooms or 15,2 percent,
in Lviv region by 158 rooms or 4,8 percent, in Ivano-
Frankivsk region by 146 rooms or by 11,8 percent and
in Zaporizhya region 141 rooms or by 11,9 percent.
Along with those facts there was some reduction in the
room quantity in some regions that mainly occurred
because of the hotels bouilding up, sale to some
physical persons, reconstruction of rooms for housing,
offices or rooms for medical purposes.
But the decrease in the number of rooms did not neces-
sarily involve the respective decrease in the size of their
living space. Thus, in Donetsk region the number of
rooms reduced by 97 units, but the living space of
rooms increased by 3994,0 metres square, in Louhansk
region the number of rooms reduced by 46 units, while
the living space increased by 19,9 sqm, in Vinnytsya
region the number of rooms reduced by 25 units, and
the living space increased by some 4.000 sqm. It pro-
ves that hotels were rebuilt and reconstructed in orderto increase the living space of the rooms, to improve
the room layout and to provide more convenient and
comfortable condition for living.
The average room capacity in Ukraine did not changed
in 2009 compared to 2008 and was 1,8, from 1,5 to
1,6 in Zaporizhya, Donetsk, Kirovograd, Louhansk and
Kharkiv regions, from 2,0 to 2,4 in the Crimea and the
regions of Vinnytsya, Transcarpathians, Rivne, Ternopol,
Ivano-Frankivsk and in the city of Sevastopol.
Increase in top class hotels
In 2009 there was an increase in the number of de luxe
and semi de luxe rooms to improve hotel services. Thus,
during 2009 their quantity in Ukraine in comparison to
2008 increased by 705 units or by 7,5 percent and
equalled 10.100 rooms or 23,5 percent of overall room
quantity in the Ukrainian hotels. There was a significant
growth in the number of de luxe and semi de luxe rooms
in Kyivs hotels (by 328 rooms from the number of such
rooms in 2008), in Ivano-Frankivsk region (by 82 rooms),
Chernivtsi (by 80 rooms) and Dnipropetrovsk (by 75
rooms) regions.
In comparison to 2008 the number of single rooms in
the Ukrainian hotels decreased in the whole by 163
rooms or 1,5 percent. The growth in the number of
these rooms was observed in the hotels of Kyiv (by 263
rooms comparing to the number of single rooms in
2008), in the regions of Donetsk (by 108 rooms),
Chernivtsi (by 37 rooms), Volyn (by 29) and Odessa (by
25 rooms). There was a growth in the number of single
rooms in the hotels of 9 regions, too, among which are
Dnipropetrovsk (by 145 units compared to the quantity
of single rooms in 2008), Louhansk (by 59 units),
Zaporizhya (by 42 units) and Lviv (by 36 units).
During the year 2009 the number of double rooms
in Ukraine increased by 142 units or 0,8 percent in
comparison to the corresponding number in 2008, was
18.800. The hotels of the Crimea, Kyiv, Zaporizhya, Lviv
and Transcarpathian regions shared the biggest rise in
the number of such rooms (from 58 to 149 units range).
At the same time there was a decrease in the quantity
of double rooms in the hotels in 12 regions, Odesa (by
135 double rooms comparing to 2008), Volyn (by 133),
Louhansk (by 86) and Rivne (by 46 rooms).
The number of triple and extra bed rooms reduced by
64 units or by 2,1 percent in comparison to 2008. This
reduction was observed in more than half of the regions;
especially in the hotels of Volyn, Odesa and Kherson
regions and in the city of Kyiv (ranging from 45 to 18
units). The reduction is the result of changing the
rooms layout in order to create more convenient and
comfortable living conditions, reallocation of the rooms
or changing the type of hotel enterprise from hotel to
hostel.

Along with those facts there was an increase in thenumber of triple and extra bed rooms in the hotels of 8
regions of Ukraine in 2009 in Rivne and Ivano-Frankivsk
regions and the Crimea (by 44, 29 and 27 rooms
respectively in comparison to 2008) with the new hotels
functioning on these territories.
3.622.200 persons were provided with the accommoda-
tion services in 2009 in Ukraine that was less than in
2008 by 21,1 percent; among them 2.753.100 persons
or 76,0 percent of the whole number of visitors were
accommodated in hotels. In Ukraine during 20002007
(except insignificant decrease in 2002 and 2005) thenumber of persons using hotel services tended to grow
in a positive way. As from 2008 this number began
reducing. And in 2009 this quantity reduced by 874.000
persons or by 24, 1 percent comparing to 2008.
Focus regions of tourist industry
More than 59,0 percent of persons accommodated
in hotels in 2009 as well as in 2008 were staying in
6 regions of Ukraine, they are the city of Kyiv 737.400
persons, the Crimea 221.200 persons, Lviv region
211.400 persons, Odesa region 194,800 persons,
Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions 133.300 and125.000 persons correspondingly.
One of the most important elements in hotel economy
is the number of foreign tourists bringing income (export
of services) to the country that facilitates development
of the branches involved in providing the services. All
this contributes to the increase of gross domestic pro-
duct and life conditions of people. However, in 2009 com-
pared to 2008 the volume of export of accommodation
services reduced significantly (by 46, 5 percent) compri-
sing 99,5 million US dollars, almost half of reduction
(46,8 percent) was for accommodation services of hotels
which are 83,2 million US dollars. The total number of
foreign visitors accommodated in Ukraine in 2009 is
795.000 persons (21,9 percent), 745.000 of themstayed in the hotels that is less than in 2008 by
198,500 or 21,0 percent.
Though practically the whole territory of Ukraine has
potential for a developed tourism industry. However, the
intensity of foreign visits differs in its particular regions.
72,2 percent of foreign tourists have stayed in the
hotels of Kyiv, the Crimea, and Lviv and Odessa regions.
But the duration of their staying period decreased in
2009 comparing to 2008 by 204.000 persons per day
or by 13,3 percent. The main reason for the decrease
was the rise in hotel prices, and the accommodationprices in particular.
Origin of tourists in Ukraine by country
Despite of wide "geography" of tourists visiting the
country (foreign tourists from 211 countries came to
Ukraine in 2009), a bit more than one third (34,6 per-
cent) from their quantity are tourists from CIS countries
275.000 persons (215,000 from Russian Federation,
43.000 persons from Belarus, 16,600 persons from
Moldova). As far as other countries are concerned
German tourists were the most frequent visitors
69.000 persons, 57.000 persons cave from Poland,

The volume of services provided by all types of accom-modation enterprises comprised 73, 5 million US dollars
or 73, 8 percent of overall scope of export of accommo-
dation services in 2009.
The level of comfort is one of the most important quality
characteristics of accommodation. The criteria for
assignment to certain categories of hotels are quality
of rooms and public facilities, availability of shower and
bathrooms, furnishing standards, kindness, quantity
and quality of technical equipment, premises design,
personnel quantity and qualification, level and range of
food service etc. For now, there is a national standardISO 4269:2003 Tourism services. Classification of
hotels and hotels and motels have 5 category
classification (rating from one to five stars).
New system for categorization of hotels looming
According to the data of certification organs there were
the following categories of hotels functioning in Ukraine
2009: 9 five-star hotels, 56 four-star hotels, 323 three-,
two- and one-star hotels, the rest 470 hotels did
not have a category. The big number of hotels without
a category can be easily explained by the list of reasons.
Many of them do not meet the requirements for logistic
support, nomenclature and the quality of services provi-
ded, service level; some of them received the certificate
only for living; some hotels carry out current repair or
rebuilding and reconstruction or are in state of build up;
newly-built hotels did not yet manage to receive a cate-
gory; a significant number of hotels was transferred to
property of physical persons who do not need to receive
a star certificate as it requires financial expenses.
Unfortunately, at present the hotel infrastructure of
Ukraine does not meet demand for hotel services either
by quantity or by quality; material base and technical
equipment of majority of hotels are physically and
morally out of date and do not respond to international
standards. The list of additional services of Ukrainian
hotels is significantly poorer than in the majority of
European hotels that offer more than 80 items of
additional services. Practically three quarters (74,1 per-cent) of overall quantity of hotels listed the following as
the objects of services restaurants, cafes and bars.
Most dining places like in 2008 ., functioned in Kyivs
hotels 100 units or 15,7 percent of total quantity of
all restaurants, cafes and bars functioned at the premi-
ses of Ukrainian hotels, in Lviv region 84 or 13,2 per-
cent, the Crimea 63 or 9,9 percent, Donetsk region
48 7,5 percent, Odesa region 45 or 7,1 percent and
Transcarpathian region 40 or 6,3 percent. Each hotel
in the Crimea, the regions of Donetsk, Ivano-Frankivsk,
Lviv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Chernivtsi and Transcarpathian
region, Kyiv and Sevastopol had a dining place.
Practically each second hotel in 13 regions of Ukraine
had a functioning restaurant, caf and bar. Each third
hotel in Zaporizhya region had at least one restaurant,
while each forth hotel in Rivne region had a caf and a
bar at its premises. Along with that the hotels of some
regions do not have dining spots at all; on each eighth
hotel in Louhansk region and each ninth one in
Chernihiv region had a restaurant, a caf or a bar.
Hotel Services
More than one third of hotels (37, 3 percent) had par-
king places, and a bit more than a half (57, 8 percent)
saunas and laundries. The significant number of par-
king places function near the hotels in the Crimea 60
or 18,8 percent of overall number of parking sites near
hotels, in Kyiv 28 units or 8,8 percent, in Lviv region
23 units or 7,2 percent, in Donetsk and Odessa regi-
ons 19 units or 5,9 percent in each one, and in the
Transcarpathian region 18 or 5,6 percent. Ivano-
Frankivsk, Odessa, Soumy, Kharkiv and Transcarpathian
regions are the best parking secured regions, each
second hotel had a parking place there. At the sametime in some regions there were no parking places
on the territory of hotels, because only each sixth in
Chernihiv region and each eighth in Louhansk and
Rivne regions had such objects. The significant number
of saunas and laundries functioned in the hotels of the
Crimea 62 or 12,5 percent of overall number, in Lviv
region 56 or 11,3 percent, in Kyiv 54 or 10,8 per-
cent, in Donetsk region 41 or 8,3 percent and in the
Transcarpathians 37 or 7,5 percent. At the same time
the saunas and laundries are practically absent in the
hotels of some regions: only each fifth hotel in Mykolajiv
and Rivne regions and each 14th one of Louhansk regi-
on had such service item in their list of services.

The income of the accommodation enterprises of Ukrainein 2009 comprised 4, 5 billion Hrivnas (approximately
450 million Euro) (taxes excluded), and 90,0 percent of
that sum was the income of the hotels, the rest 10,0
percent was earned by the accommodation enterpri-
ses of other types. The total hotel income excluding
taxes decreased in 2009 by 208 million Hrivnas or 4, 8
percent in comparison to 2008 and it was 44, 5 billion
Hrivnas (approximately 450 million Euro). Almost half of
the total income (44,1 percent) was received from the
main activities accommodation price, 17,4 percent
from providing with the additional services, 38 percent,
and 5 percent from other activities.
In comparison to 2008, the structure of the hotel income
underwent some insignificant changes. Thus, along with
the decrease of the income from the main activities
by 0,9, there was the increase of income from the
additional services by 0, 5 and from other activities by
0,4. This suggests that in the conditions of the worlds
economic crisis the hotels losing income from their
main activities, so that the hotels have to offer some
additional services and facilities in order to generate
income.
Incomes from Hotel Accommodation
The income of the hotel accommodation services ex-
cluding taxes comprised in 2009 1,8 billion (about
180 million Euro), that is less than in 2008 by 128
million Hrivna. (or by 15,6 percent comparing prices).
The hotels of Kyiv received 42,3 percent of this sum,
the Crimea hotels got 13,3 percent, the hotels of
Lviv region 9,0 percent, Odesa hotels 6,9 percent,
hotels of Dnipropetrovsk region 3,9 percent, and
of Donetsk region 3,7 percent.
The income from one person accommodation in
Ukraines hotels in whole was 23.000 Hrivna (about
2.300 Euro, excluding taxes), while the hotels of Kyiv
received about 60.000 Hrivna, the hotels of Kharkiv
region 27.000 Hrivna, the Crimea hotels 27.000 Hrivna,
and the hotels of Zhytomyr region only 4.200 Hrivna.
The income from rooms function for one person per
day was little less than 300 Hrivna. The highest index
among all Ukrainian regions was in the city of Kyiv, in
Lviv, Odesa and Ivano-Frankivsk regions and in the
Crimea; and it ranged from 460 to 300 Hrivna.
In 2009 comparing to 2008 the income for foreigntourism decreased by 1,8 million Hrivna and was 913,7
million Hrivna. (42,3 percent of overall income from the
main activity). The hotels of Kyiv earned the highest
income for foreign tourism 574,5 million Hrivna. or
62,9 percent of the total income received from foreign
tourists. A significant contribution to Ukraines overall
foreign income was made by the hotels in the Crimea
(7,6 percent of the overall income), as well as the hotels
of Lviv, Odesa, Kharkiv and Donetsk regions (from 6,8
to 3,2 percent).
The hotel economy is the business sphere where onlythose hotels can compete who offer high quality services
to their clients, which is impossible without professionally
trained personnel. In 2009, the hotel personnel included
27, 1 thousand persons, which are 1.903 persons or
6,6 fewer than in 2008. The reduce of personnel quantity
was connected with job cuts because of the economic
crisis. It was an inevitable step for the sake of cost cuts
on staff wages. Thus, the countrys average quantity of
personnel in one hotel was 32 persons. An average
monthly wage of a person decreased in comparison to
2008 by 26,2 Hrivna and was about 1.800 Hrivna or
about 180 Euro per month.
Growing SME sector in tourism
Physical persons entrepreneurs can compete signi-
ficantly with the hotel enterprises including big hotels.
The number of landlords is increasing remarkably.
They can provide a range of services to better prices.
According to the data of State Tax Administration in
2009, the number of physical persons entrepreneurs
with a temporary accommodation services was about
6.300 persons overall, and thereof 2.736 persons or
43,5 percent of all entrepreneurs who are running thehotels themselves. The number of physical persons run-
ning hotels has increased in 2009 by 526 persons or
23, 8 percent compared to 2008. Their overall income
was 335,2 million Hrivna (59,0 percent of physical per-
sons proving with the temporary accommodation ser-
vices), that was 52,7 million Hrivna or by 18,7 percent
more than in 2008. The highest quantity of physical
persons acted in the Crimea (268 persons of 9,8 per-
cent of the total number of entrepreneurs providing
with services on temporary accommodation), in Trans-
carpathians region (259 persons or 9,5 percent) and in
Lviv region (238 persons or 8,7 percent), they received
more than a quarter (26 percent) of overall hotel in-
come in Ukraine. A big income from providing with

temporary accommodation services was also receivedby entrepreneurs in Dnipropetrovsk region - 25,7 million
Hrivna. or 7,7 percent of overall incomes from the hotel
enterprises run by physical persons in Ukraine. The
income of entrepreneurs in Kyiv was 7,3 percent of
overall income from private hotels, in Odesa and
Donetsk regions 7,2 percent to 6,9 percent respec-
tively.
Obviously, the hotel economy is an important componentof tourism industry. Its effective function indicates posi-
tive changes in the countrys economy. It is also the
important precondition of intensification of international
relations and country integration into the world commu-
nity. Improvement of accommodation quality in Ukraine
according to the international standards is the priority in
development of hotel industry; along with improve of
tourism technologies, introduction of new kind and
forms of servicing that will allow satisfying the needs of
clients to a greater extent.
One of the main precondition for the development of
the hotel economy in Ukraine is creating a favourable
investment climate and seeking funds to build new
hotels and reconstruct the functioning ones.
The year of 2009 resulted in investments of about 1,4
billion Hrivna and 788,6 million Hrivna (corresponding
to 84,8 and 66,2 percent of investments in 2008). The
share of investments for the development of the hotels
and other places for temporary residence has mastered
to 1,5 percent. The funds of the state budget made it
possible to master 19,8 million Hrivna, or 0,9 percent
investments for these activities.
3.407 accommodation units were put in operation in
Ukraine in 2009, 1.662 of them in 36 brand new
hotels. Reconstruction of already functioning buildings
helped to increase the number of accommodation units
by 1.745; almost half of them (49,3 percent) were put in
operation in the city of Kyiv and the Crimea. The tourist
camps for 353 accommodation units also began to run.
Since January 2010, the direct foreign investment in
the development of hotels and other places for temporary
residence have amounted to 258,9 million US dollars
which was 0,7 percent of the total direct investment in
Ukraine.
31 countries of the world have invested in Ukraines
economy. The biggest investments for the development
of the hotel economy of Ukraine were made by Cyprus -
76,1 million US dollars, Great Britain 48,5 millionUS dollars, Switzerland 38,2 million dollars, Russian
Federation 25,3 million US dollars, USA 23,2 million
US dollars and British Virginian Islands - 14,0 million

Since 2000, Ukraine has implemented significant
positive economic and legal reforms. The economy has
grown at an annual rate exceeding 7 percent over the
period of 2000 to 2008. This growth was fueled by strong
domestic demand, and solid consumer and investor
confidence. The economic and financial crisis that un-
folded in 2008 has shook investor confidence and
has stalled the inflow of capital. Ukraine remained in
recession throughout 2009, with a recovery anticipated
during 2010. In 2010 the Ukrainian government has
adopted the Economic Program for 2010 2014, whichcontains a large number of positive economic and social
measures and reforms over the medium terms.
Annual growth rate of 4 percent expected
In 2010, the Ukrainian economy is expected to grow by
about 4 percent annually. In the first half of the year,
the recovery was mainly export-led. In the second half
of the year, as the external conditions worsened, the
growth was supported by restoring private consumption
and investment demand. In 2011, real GDP is forecast
to accelerate slightly to 4.5 percent annually by vigorous
investment demand. The latter fact, however, will also
spur imports. The current account, thus, is projected
to widen to about 3 percent of GDP in 2011, with net
exports dragging down the pace of economic growth. Due
to slower transfer of higher natural gas prices to other
utility tariffs and administrative measures and to sup-
press food price growth, inflation will be kept around
10 percent in 2010. However, the utility price growth is
set to resume strongly next year, Ukraine has kept the
2011 inflation forecast at 10 percent.
At the beginning of December 2010, soon after theapproval of the new Tax Code, the Government presen-
ted the Draft 2011 Budget Law. Due to new taxation
rules with lower corporate taxes and some new tax
breaks, the draft envisages a moderate increase in bud-
get revenues, up by a nominal 11.4 percent annually. At
the same time, reducing the deficit, expenditures are
projected to increase by about 4 percent. Expenditure
tightening allowed the government to target the state
budget deficit at 3.08 percent of GDP in 2011. Approval
of the 2011 Budget Law with a general government
deficit below 3.5 percent of GDP in 2011 is one of the
key IMF requirements for Ukraine to receive December's
IMF tranche. To reduce budget expenditures, Ukrainian
authorities launched a public administration reform at
the beginning of December 2010 and plan to reveal the
details of pension reform by the end of the year.
Foreign Trade
Russia and the European Union are responsible for
more than half of Ukraine's trade. The USA is a relativelysmall trade partner, accounting for only 2.9 percent of
exports and 3.3 percent of imports. In 2008, metals
accounted for more than 41.2 percent of Ukraines
exports, however, due to decline in the global demand,
the share of metals in the exports structure declined
to 33.4 percent in 2009.
Ukraine is a member of the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the European Bank
for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Ukraine
also cooperates with the Organisation for Economic

Ukrainian authorities regularly declare their willingness
to encourage foreign investment and the broader public
is well disposed towards foreign investment. Below an
overview on international observers of the economic
development of the country is presented.
Legal Framework of Investment Activities
Ukrainian legislation generally creates equal opportuni-
ties for both domestic and foreign investors. There areonly few restrictions on foreign investments, e.g. foreign
companies cannot hold legal title to agricultural land.
Ukraine has already established a favourable legal fra-
mework for investors to date. This domain is specifically
regulated by the following Laws of Ukraine: on Investment
Activities; on Treatment of Foreign Investments, on
Elimination of Discrimination in Taxation of Business
Entities Established Using Properties and Funds of
National Origin etc. These acts provide:
sovereign guarantees of investment protection
irrespective of its form of ownership;
application of the national treatment of currency
regulation and tax collection on the territory of
Ukraine to business or other legal entities established
with involvement of foreign investments irrespective
of form or time of the latter;
indemnification for damages, lost profit and non-
pecuniary damages that have resulted from action/
inaction of government bodies of Ukraine or their
officials or their improper performance of their
legislatively established responsibilities in respectof foreign investors;
investment recovery to investor in kind or in currency
it has been made without any duties or fees as well
as recovery of any returns on such investments in
cash or in kind in case of investment activity termi-
nation.
In the same time, the issue of improving legislative
and organisation framework to enhance the relevance
of mechanisms providing beneficial investment climate
and create the basis for preservation and increase of
competitiveness of the domestic economy remains
high on the agenda.
The Government approved by its Resolution No. 1107,
2008, the Agenda for the Cabinet of Ministers of
Ukraine to Overcome Effects of the World Financial
and Economic Crisis and Assure Sustainable
Development. It focused on the prevention of further
unfolding of the crisis, slowing-down of the economy
of Ukraine and degradation of living standards of its
residents.
Respectively, one of the priority tasks of the Government
concerns the provision of incentives to investment activities,namely: boosting up investing activities, contributing to
the increase of volume of foreign direct investment in
Ukraine, and creating conditions for accelerated techno-
logical modernisation of domestic production facilities
to improve their energy efficiency and competitiveness.
The actions of the Government are aimed at: securing
stable operation of enterprises of the real economy sec-
tor in crisis conditions, first of all, in those sectors that
have been hit most by the world financial crisis; provid-
ing governmental support to the above sectors, also in
the form of sovereign guarantees; and implementing
an efficient policy in the domains of energy saving and
domestic industrial production sector technological
upgrade.
National Target Programme for Euro 2012
One of the mid-term set task of the Government concerns
the elimination of infrastructure-based limitations to
develop previous traffic arteries and their integration
into the overall European infrastructure; to develop rail-
road transport, sea ports, airports, modern telecommu-
nications facilities, as well as the execution of the NationalTarget Programme of Preparing for and Holding Finals
of UEFA Football Championship 2012 in Ukraine.
In July 2010, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law of
Ukraine to Change Some Laws of Ukraine on Hotel
Infrastructure Development and Preparation for Holding
the Final Part of European Football Championship 2012
in Ukraine. The Law envisages a temporary (effective
from 1 January 2011 until 31 December 2020) profit
tax relief on hotel services (hotel room sales and ancillary
hotel services) provided by three, four and five-star
hotels.

The Government has taken on ambitious activitiesaiming at improving the current situation in practically
all the economy sectors from metallurgy to building and
construction. A number of laws and Cabinet resolutions
have been elaborated and adopted to resolve issues in
various sectors. These specifics include resolutions to
provide favourable environment for investments in the
construction sector, improve and cheapen licensing and
permit-issuing procedures, implement a competitive
framework for land plot and related development rights
acquisition, provide incentives for the use of alternative
energy sources and fuels, expanding the domestic
market for local machine-building, agro industrial etc.companies.
Attractive conditions for investments
In furtherance of Government commissions a sustainab-
le increase of investments in the national economy took
place and the implementation of an innovation and
investment-based model of economic development was
established. The Ministry of Economy makes regular
efforts to further improve the legislative framework in
the investment domain.
E.g., legislative framework has been set up to secure
development of:
public and private partnerships in Ukraine;
updated legislation in the domain of mineral resource
management;
concession activities;
out-of-court dispute settlement;
industrial parks;
clustering of the economy of Ukraine.
Noteworthy, the investment policies of the Government
of Ukraine are aimed at creating attractive conditionsfor investing activities and thus requires public support
from investors. Moreover the need to speed-up expected
changes in the legal-regulatory domain demands more
proactive stance from investors who should propose to
the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine their draft legislative
acts with clear-cut and balanced mechanisms of solving
specific issues in the investment domain professionally
developed by joint efforts with central bodies of the
Executive.
Foreign direct investment account for 5 billion 986 million
US dollars in the economy of Ukraine in 2010, which is
6.2 percent more than in 2009 (State Statistics Service
reported 5 billion 634 million US dollars). The EU invested
4 billion 605.8 million US dollars (76.9 percent of thetotal volume), CIS countries invested 849.2 million US
dollars (14.2 percent), and other countries of the world
531.0 million US dollars (8.9 percent). Investment was
made mainly in the form of cash contributions, which
sum up to 5 billion 684.8 million US dollars (95.0 per-
cent of invested amount). Increase in the total foreign
capital in the economy, given its revaluation, losses,
exchange rates, etc., amounted to 4 billion 655.0 million
US dollars for 2010.
Increase in foreign capital was observed at enterprises
engaged in financial activities (in the amount of 2 billion628.5 million US dollars), real estate transactions, leas-
ing, engineering and provision of services to entrepre-
neurs (485.6 million US dollars), trade, repair of motor
vehicles, household goods and items of personal con-
sumption (447.9 million US dollars), as well as at indu-
strial enterprises (766.2 million US dollars).
Both domestic and foreign investors still encounter
difficulties at a practical level. These do not relate speci-
fically to the issue of foreign ownership or investment,
but rather to enforced arbitrarily administrative hurdles,
or random delays.
Foreign investments are not to be subject to nationalisa-
tion, expropriation, requisition, or any other measure of
similar effect, except it is in the public interest. In such
cases, compensation must be provided to the investor
based on the market value of the property.
