**UKRAINE TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE**

**Country Market Profile**

INTRODUCTION

U.S. companies that specialize in hotel and resort development, theme
park creation, winter sport facilities, concept design, convention
facilitation, alternative tourism, construction, port and airport
development, marina development, information technologies and
advertising agencies are in the best position to participate in the
upgrade and expansion of Ukraine's tourism infrastructure. Tourism is
one of Ukraine fastest growing industries. Based on population density,
the Ukrainian market is more than 50% larger than Hungary, Czech and
Slovakia combined.

Tourism has become one of the key factors driving the Ukrainian economy,
generating approx. \$ 4 billion in 2001, calculated in accordance with
WTO (World Tourism Organization) methods. The State Tourism
Administration reported that 5.8 million foreign tourists visited
Ukraine in 2001, which represents a 31% growth compared with 2000.
Overall in 2001, the State Border Control Service recorded nearly 11
million foreign arrivals in Ukraine. However, it should be noted that
almost 75 percent of all foreign visitors arrived from Russia and other
Newly Independent States.

Non-NIS tourists who visited Ukraine were predominantly from Hungary,
Poland, Germany, and USA. Almost 54, 000 U.S. citizens visited Ukraine
in 2000. An average foreign visitor spends 4 days in Ukraine, leaving in
the country \$ 600 per trip. The most popular destinations with foreign
travelers are Kyiv (attracts 30% of all foreign visitors), Crimea
(another 30%), Carpathian region including Lviv, and Odessa. Most of
western travelers prefer either individual travel or cruise tours.
Western Ukraine is a traditional destination for U.S. and Canadian
travelers (who represent over 2 million Ukrainian Diaspora in these
countries). Crimea, an old soviet tourism Mecca, has become a popular
vacation spot for medium-to-lower financial strata of Germans.

The modernization of Ukraine's tourism infrastructure is becoming an
important priority for the Ukrainian and Crimean governments. \[Note:
Crimea has the status of an autonomous republic within Ukraine with its
Constitution and Government.\] Tourism is recognized for its potential
in generating hard currency revenues. In 1999, the Ukrainian President
by his Decrees created incentives for the development of a tourism
infrastructure by establishing special economic zones in major Ukrainian
tourist regions.

STATUS OF UKRAINIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE

During the years of independence (since 1991) Ukraine's tourism
infrastructure has been gradually changing ownership from government to
private. The private sector is developing rapidly, especially Kyiv,
Odessa, Crimea and the Carpathian region. To host visitors Ukrainian
tourism facilities include over 1 300 hotels, motels, campsites, tourism
centers, and about 3000 recreational facilities. Ukraine considers these
recreational centers (sanatoriums, spas, mud treatment facilities and
others) as tourism facilities, rather then medical treatment
institutions.

Seaside resorts, with centers in Crimea and Odessa, face a relatively
short season and serious competition from other destinations. This
region was the center of recreational tourism in the former Soviet
Union, and is therefore flooded with outdated resorts and sanatoriums
formerly managed by trade unions. Crimea offers ideal climatic
conditions, many curative mineral waters, peat and mud. In order to
extend the season in Crimea, local companies and municipalities have
developed attractive investment projects for the construction of winter
sport facilities, hiking, marinas, entertainment centers and cruises. In
addition, Crimea has historic sites associated with the Ancient Greek
and Ottoman periods. The archeological relicts of old Greek towns Tyra,
Olvia, Chersonesos, and Panticapaea attract many international visitors.
The Crimean tourism industry generates over 50% of the Crimean GDP,
evidencing the significance of this sector for the republic.

The Carpathian region offers a unique combination of mountains, clean
air, curative spas, historic sites and ethnic culture. This is where
most travelers from the United States, Canada and Western Europe tend to
congregate. Development of hotels in regional centers (Lviv,
Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, and Uzhgorod) cities, resort hotels,
convention centers, ski facilities, spas, hiking grounds, and convention
centers, offer good opportunities for investments. Lviv medieval
historic center is included in the UNESCO list of historic treasures,
making it especially interesting for construction and design companies.

A national and regional transportation infrastructure are inadequate and
is the main obstacle to the development of the tourism sector.
Particularly noticeable is the low quality of domestic air service and
poor road conditions across the country. The Government of Ukraine is
trying to encourage foreign companies to involve themselves in the
development of ground travel infrastructure, including motels,
restaurants, service stations, as well as information programs. The
Ministry of Transportation has announced airport redevelopment projects
in Odessa, Simferopol, and Kyiv Zhuliany in 2001.

OBJECTIVES FOR THE FUTURE

## Hotels

**[Kyiv]{.underline}.** Kyiv is one of the few cities in the world, for
its size and stature, without an international chain hotel. But not for
lack of effort by investors, the post-independence history of hotel
development in Kyiv is a study in frustration. Several international
hotel chains tried to enter Ukrainian hospitality market with mixed
success. However, the long-awaited hotel boom may finally be
approaching. Several large-scale hotel projects have recently started to
progress, in particular, Radisson SAS Kyiv Hotel, Intercontinental St.
Sophia hotel, and Marriott. In addition, the first hotel offering
five-star service -- The Premiere Palace - was developed just in 2001 on
Russian and Swiss investment.

There are 86 hotels operating in Kyiv. About 40% of these hotels are
officially considered suitable for western clients, but only a handful
are actually frequented by western tourists. Hotel service in Kyiv today
may be divided into the following categories:

-   Soviet style hotels, which constitute majority. As a rule, these big
    hotels offer limited number of amenities, however are inadequately
    expensive. Nevertheless, the average price for foreigners in these
    hotels is approximately \$150 per room. (Some Ukrainian state owned
    hotels still apply differential rates for foreigners and locals);

-   Private hotels.

**[Odessa]{.underline}**. Primary geographic location, a rich cultural
heritage and a rapidly growing business life make Odessa the second most
visited Ukrainian City by foreigners after Kyiv. Nevertheless, the hotel
situation in Odessa is similar to Kyiv. In 2001, Odessa Port Authority
developed a Kempinski Hotel on the territory of the seaport, which was
the first international flagship hotel ever developed in Ukraine.
However, due to unregulated corporate issues, Kempinski withdrew from
the project in May 2002. Currently, the hotel is named Hotel Odessa. To
date, the rest of the Odessa lodging market is comprised of old soviet
style hotels refurbished by local firms or joint ventures.

**[Lviv.]{.underline}** Given the popularity of Lviv among western
tourists, the demand for quality accommodation has not been met. The
renovation of existing mid-level hotels, as well as the conversion of
properties in the city center into tourist hotels, is a priority for the
Lviv City Government. The City is interested in inviting international
hotel chains to manage one of these hotels with a provision that the
foreign hotel chain renovate the property, train the staff and add the
hotel to a global reservation network. It would cost on average \$3
million to fully renovate one of the existing mid-level hotels in Lviv;
the hotels under discussion include large projects the Dnister, George,
and Suputnyk, and some smaller private hotel projects.

## Resort Hotels

Existing resort hotels in Crimea and the Carpathian region are shabby.
Their aesthetic and functional condition is unacceptable by
international standards. Soviet era hotels in existing resort areas may
be purchased for as little as \$10,000. Tourism officials advise
\"adding a small hotel to existing structures is easier than building a
new hotel\". However, old soviet hotels were often constructed poorly
and renovation could in many cases be more expensive than building a new
hotel.

There are more that 100 unfinished construction sites in Crimea,
originally designed as resort hotels and recreation centers. Some 40% of
these are Russian properties, the remaining sites are in the possession
of Crimean and Ukrainian governments, who are desperately trying to
dispose of them.

**Skiing.** Till the current economic crisis, skiing was a major
Carpathian tourism draw. Long-lasting and reliable snow conditions make
Carpathian skiing popular. U.S. community ski fans report that the
slopes in Slavsko (Lvivska Oblast) and Yaremcha (Ivano-Frankivska
Oblast) compare well to Piks Peak and the Killington ski areas in
Vermont. Zakarpatska Oblast has several three-kilometer downhill runs,
desirable for slalom. Other popular skiing areas in the Carpathian
Mountains are Dragobrat, Tissovets, Vorokhta and Yaremcha. Most of
skiing enthusiasts come to the Carpathian Mountains from Russia, the
Baltic States, Eastern Europe, and the local foreign community. Crimea,
in an effort to extend the season, has come up with attractive proposals
to create modern ski resorts in the Crimean Mountains.

The skiing infrastructure is not in an acceptable condition. In 1970's
and 1980\'s the state built many large subsidized ski resorts. Local
authorities look to investors to revive these ski resorts as a priority,
but also welcome green-field development. Today, entrepreneurs tend to
build smaller ski lodges or cabins, which are in demand. Local companies
look for investors to upgrade ski lift equipment. Selling or renting ski
equipment can provide a needed service for those domestic and foreign
skiers traveling to the Carpathians and Crimea. Presently, there is not
a single shop in the entire Carpathian region selling or renting ski
equipment, this indicates an opportunity but it also reflects the
current need for capital financing. Boots and poles, equipment sales and
rentals may also include accessories such as clothes, goggles, and more
modern equipment such as ski boards.

**Convention center development.** Ukraine provides opportunities for
the development of convention and trades show facilities. Over 100 trade
shows of different categories are held throughout Ukraine annually. The
demand in international standard facilities is high, especially in big
Ukrainian cities: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, and
Yalta. The latter two often host presidential level meetings and
summits, during which the lack of adequate hospitality and business
facilities is sorely felt. There are plenty of convention centers, built
during soviet regime; given proper refurbishment they may be turned into
venues for international business meetings. Most of these facilities,
located in hotels in Crimea, were designed for the communist party\'s
needs and were closed to general public.

**Airport Redevelopment.** Redevelopment of Ukrainian airports is a
priority for the Ukrainian Government, and specifically this
responsibility is vested with the Ministry of Transportation. Ukrainian
airports are independent legal entities but, in majority, are
subordinate to the Ministry of Transportation. Currently, 17 Ukrainian
airports have the status of international, but in reality only 8
airports service regular international air traffic. Drop in domestic and
increase in international air passenger transportation brought to
surface the need to refurbish existing airports and to create new
international passenger sectors. To-date, airports in Kyiv, Odessa,
Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Simferopol have developed plans for modernization.
Preliminary posting of promotional materials on airport equipment
directly to the Ukrainian airports can be a marketing strategy for
establishing contacts with managers of Ukrainian airports. Redevelopment
of Ukrainian airports may provide a good opportunity of U.S. companies,
on a condition that domestic Ukrainian air transportation market shows
continued improvement.

**Farm Tourism.** Bed and breakfast, home stay and farm tours offer
potentials and could form accommodation development in the mountain
villages. Farm and cottage tourism have potential because visitors
interested in nature tolerate a minimal level of services which are in
short supply in Ukraine.

**Biking**. Long mountain ridges, rural roads, and farmlands provide a
good opportunity for mountain biking in the Carpathians and Crimea. The
market is presently undeveloped: mountain bikes, equipment and spare
parts are difficult to find. In addition, local tourism officials are
unfamiliar with this large specialty market developing in Europe and
North America.

**Water Sports, Rafting and canoeing.** The Carpathian streams offer
class III rapids during the spring months. With appropriate marketing,
the Carpathian streams may become a popular destination with western
white water enthusiasts. Yachting is gaining in popularity with local
high-class population of Ukrainians and locally headquartered
international business community. Projects for developing marinas on the
Crimea Black Sea coast are being in the pipeline. Alushta Marina project
in Alushta, Crimea, is included in the state tourism development program
as a priority investment project in the tourism infrastructure area.

**Historical and cultural tourism.** Historic and cultural sites are
concentrated in Kyiv, Lviv, Chernihiv, Odessa, and Crimea. Local
governments in these cities are developing historic preservation
programs and are seeking investors and construction firms for their
implementation. Lviv city medieval downtown is included in the UNESCO
Record of Historic and Architectural World Treasures. Almost half of all
Ukrainian architectural relicts are located in the Lviv Oblast. There is
a state program of "Lviv Downtown Rebirth", whereby the Ukrainian
government will support any effort aimed at the reconstruction of the
XVI-XVIII century city center.

One of the advantages that Ukraine has over its neighbors, Poland,
Slovakia and Hungary is that traditional styles of life continue to be
preserved. In the villages of the Carpathian National Park traditional
dress and farming practices continue to be maintained. Western travelers
express an ongoing interest in the artisan studio tours in the
Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. Local wood and woven crafts are extremely
popular with Ukrainian diaspora.

**Golf Clubs.** Development of golf clubs is apparently not a Ukrainian
government's priority. After 11 years of independence, a 50 million
people country does not have a single golf course. However, recent
developments show that one may be open soon near Kyiv. An 18-hole golf
course is being developed by Kyiv-based Golden Gate Golf Club. Given the
slow pace of business development outside of Kyiv, opportunities for the
construction of more golf facilities is unlikely. However, adding a
small golf facility to a luxury hotel built in Crimea may be a
reasonable expectation.

MAJOR TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

**Government Infrastructure Projects:**

1\) Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast tourism authority welcomes investors to
develop a **Center of International Ski Tourism** in
Vorokhta-Yablunytsa. This is to be a \"green-field\" construction of a
western style ski resort, including accommodation and skiing facilities.
The Oblast (state) administration estimates the total cost of the
project to be \$18 million.

**2) Development, Construction, and Operation of mountainous recreation
center TavrOs; development and construction of a 18 kilometer long cable
way**. The project includes: procurement and installation of a cable-car
to run from downtown Yalta across Ay-Petri Mountain further to Belbek
Valley; development of a ski resort; refurbishing of mountain caves;
development of horseback riding resorts on top of mountains. This idea
of the project is to connect Yalta, as the principal Crimean tourism
hub, with natural and historic attractions in the mountains currently
inaccessible for tourists. Crimean Ministry of Tourism plans to create a
consortium of investors, construction firms and equipment suppliers to
manage and operate this project. The total cost of the project is \$ 65
million.

3\) State Tourism Administration and the Ministry of Transportation of
Ukraine announced a major initiative for the development of
**Trans-European Transportation Corridors** and their infrastructures.
Three out of nine corridors approved by the European Commission will run
through Ukraine:

#3 from Lisbon to Moscow,

#5 from Dresden to Kyiv, and

#9 from Helsinki to Aleksandropoulis, Greece.

The projects will include complete or partial construction of roads, and
the creation of appropriate road infrastructure. The total cost of the
project is estimated to be \$17.5 billion. Two toll-road construction
projects are underway now: an 80-kilometer piece to connect Lviv and the
Ukrainian western border with Poland, and a 140-kilometer road to
connect Kyiv and Vinnytsa. Interested companies are welcome to inquire
on the terms of the contract.

**Quasi-Government Projects:**

**4) Intercontinental Hotel Project**. The city is looking for a new
investor and, possibly, an operator for the Intercontinental-St. Sophia
hotel project. Intercontinental-St. Sophia was the first five-star hotel
project in Kyiv being developed since 1997. The site for the hotel is in
the center of the Kyiv historic area, between Saint-Sophia Cathedral
(XII century) and the newly rebuilt St.Michael\'s Cathedral and the
square. To date, Turkish firm Ay Sel has finished the construction of
the building.

**5) Winter Ski Resort** in Slavsko. This project, developed by a local
firm, is for the development of a ski resort in the Ukrainian
Carpathians. The land title is currently in the possession of the
Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which is prepared to transfer the
ownership rights to a potential developer/investor on the basis of a
long-term lease. The future investor will receive concessions for ski
runs, lifts, rope-lines and jumps. The project is estimated to cost
about \$40 million.

**6) Alushta Association**, based in Alushta, Crimea, seeks U.S.
partners to establish a joint venture to implement the first marina
development projects in Ukraine to meet international requirements. The
project includes creation of a 250-vessel marina, and supporting
infrastructure (customs and immigration zone, access and bypass roads, a
hotel and a restaurant). Completion of the marina will require the
construction of the sea-sheltered basin (scoop, 250X250 meters) for
yachts and boats. The total cost of the project is \$ 27 million in the
prices of 1990, which is now likely to be reduced. U.S. export potential
is \$ 16 million. The Ukrainian and Crimean governments support this
project.

7\) Yalta Visitors Bureau looks offers several commercial proposals for
the development of tourism facilities in Greater Yalta. Given the lack
of quality lodging for vacationers, the priority is given to the
development of resort hotels. The **C&C Hotel** project will require
reconstruction and conversion of three historical buildings in the
center of Yalta into a 5-star hotel. Russian-French JV Slav-Invest is a
contractor for this project. The export potential for this project is
estimated at \$ 8 million. The project is exempt from VAT, land payment,
tax duties and profit tax for first three years of project
implementation (by Presidential Decree). Business Plan in English is
available. Hotel will be built in compliance with the standards of one
of U.S./International hotel chains.

**8) Yalta Sea Port Project**. Yalta Port Authority plans to increase
the size and depth of water birth through reconstruction and dredging in
order to accommodate modern cruise liners. In addition, reconstruction
of the passenger terminal is required. The port authority will welcome
an international engineering form to perform a feasibility study.
Estimated U.S. export potential is \$ 9.8 million.

**9) Development of business and convention center in Yalta**. The Yalta
Mayor's Office is looking for investors for development of contemporary
business facility in Yalta that would combine an office (90 offices) and
convention space. Currently, Yalta does not have a business center.
However, the demand in a western-quality office business space is
critical during high-level meetings and forums regularly held in Yalta.
Yalta is the Ukrainian President's summer residence and is a venue for
various international forums and conventions. The project cost is
estimated to be \$ 1.5 million.

**Private Sector Projects:**

**10) Development of the Golden Gate Golf Club.** Project consists of
developing the [first golf course in Ukraine.]{.underline} Project
already partially financed by Pro-W (Ukraine). Additional financing is
required to get project started. Once Project is started 30-40 % of the
financing is expected from future members and investors. Project
anticipates a full 18-hole golf course, Driving range, Golf Clubhouse
(from renovation of adjacent "Baza" which was a company resort during
the Soviet era), and other facilities. The Clubhouse would include a
restaurant, coffee shop, bar, lockers, gym, etc. Other facilities would
include a hotel, tennis courts, swimming pool, water sports facilities,
beach area, Pro Shop, and auxiliary facilities for the golf resort.

**11) Development of a four-star hotel in historic center of Lviv.** The
project sponsor, Trident Consulting and Investing Ltd. Plans to develop
a 4-star hotel in medieval part of Lviv by renovating an existing
building of historic significance. The new hotel is expected to have 40
executive rooms and suites. Currently, the hotel situation in Lviv is
similar to the one in Yalta. Lviv is a frequent venue for various type
VIP forums and meetings. For instance, in 2001, Lviv hosted the Papal
visit, whch caused a critical hotel shortage (almost 1.5 pilgrims
congregated to Lviv, whereas the hotel capacity in the city is only
about 1,000 rooms). Lviv also was a venue for a summit of 9 Eastern
European chief-of-states in 1999. In addition, U.S. First Lady paid a
three-day visit to Lviv in 1997. Trident Consulting and Investing Ltd.
looks for a loan or equity investment to finish the reconstruction and
operate the hotel. A \$ 700K investment is required.

**12) Development of a tourist campsite on the Dnister river**. The site
of the project is in a picturesque area at the Dnister river between
Chernivtsi and Ternopil oblasts. This private sector project includes a
green-field development of a tourist campsite, three restaurants with
various national cuisine, a waterfall and fountains, a shopping center,
a pier and a water-ski center. Project sponsor is Ukrainian firm -- JV
Mirage (Chernivtsi). The required investment is \$ 400K.

MARKET ACCESS

**Land Ownership.** Foreign companies can not directly own land in
Ukraine, but are able to lease land from local authority for a period of
up to 50 years. The Ukrainian Government has taken measures to ensure
the safety of hard assets owned by foreigners in Ukraine, including
signing a treaty with the U.S. providing for the mutual agreement that
neither country will confiscate property from citizens of the other. If
a foreign entity owns title to a building, it automatically has the
right under Ukrainian law to obtain permanent or temporary (lease) usage
rights to the land from the Ukrainian government.

**Financing Availability.** Real estate investments in Ukraine will
likely remain difficult for several more years. Risk as perceived by
foreign debt markets is likely to remain relatively high for some time,
and Ukrainian banks currently tend to refuse to accept property as
collateral, making it difficult to underwrite loans. Therefore, most
projects will continue to require nearly 100% equity capitalization.
Recently, U.S. Eximbank announced its intention to reopen financing for
projects in Ukraine.

**Incentives.** In 1999, the Ukrainian Parliament granted VAT exemption
for tourism services in Crimea. In addition, the President by his
Decrees created special economic zones in nearly all major tourism
centers in Ukraine: Southern Crimea, Zakarpattya, Truskavets mineral spa
resort region in Lviv Oblast, and Yavoriv in Lviv Oblast. The tax
concessions available to business entities operating in these regions
vary, but the key elements are as follows:

-   exemption from import duty and import VAT;

-   exemption from corporate profit tax or taxation at reduced rates;

-   reduced rates of withholding tax on income derived by non-residents
    and on dividends; and

-   exemption from mandatory conversion of revenues in foreign currency.

**Technical Requirements.** Reduction in visa requirements is a factor,
which can aid tourism. The process of obtaining Ukrainian visa is
complicated. U.S. fees are between \$50 to \$150 depending on the
processing time.

**Legislation.** The Law of Ukraine on Tourism and the State Program of
Tourism Development, adopted in 1997 regulate tourism activity in
Ukraine.

**Membership.** Ukraine joined the World Tourism Organization (WTO) in
1998. Head of the State Tourism Committee of Ukraine Mr. Valeriy Tsybukh
was elected the member of the WTO Executive Council in 1999.
