Riporto dal Kiev Post
From Kiev Post:
Ukraine's lackluster tourism industry could see significant growth by 2010
if the government finds a way to implement an ambitious eight?year
investment program that calls for a major overhaul of the sector.
By implementing incentives, such as slashing hotel prices and making visas
easier to obtain, tourism officials think the nation can lure 20 percent
more visitors by 2010.
Valery Tsybukh, head of the newly created State Tourism Administration, said
tourism's share of the country's gross domestic product could rise from the
current 1.5 percent to 14 percent as a result.
The government hopes to fund the Hr 11 billion program principally with cash
raised from private investors. Only about Hr 40 million in public funds will
be committed to the effort.
The program is designed to develop the industry's infrastructure, improve
service quality, simplify border?crossing procedures and lower tax rates for
travel companies.
The plan's most important feature, Tsybukh said, is that tourists arriving
in either Odessa or Simferopol would be able to obtain an eight?day visa on
the spot from customs officials. Tourists will be able to extend them upon
request.
Tsybukh said that the ability to obtain a short?term tourist visa upon
arrival would be "a big step forward," especially since the government has
already repealed a requirement that foreigners register with OVIR within
three days of arrival.
Tsybukh said that the new visa system would not go into effect until his
office determines how much the new visa will cost and other details.
If the visa system is effective in Odessa and Crimea, the tourism
administration hopes the government will gradually implement it nationwide.
"We plan to add more regions," he said. "These will be Kyiv and the
Carpathians."
Representatives of travel agencies kept their enthusiasm for the plan in
check.
"I would say [the plan] is better than nothing," said Yury Holovchenko, the
director of the Odessa?based Modes travel agency.
"We'll see how simplified the procedure will be. The only thing I can say is
that this decision should be [viewed as] a step by the government for us to
develop our business," he said.
Holovchenko said Ukraine should make more of an effort to win over tourists
who travel to neighboring Turkey, Bulgaria and Poland, where it is very easy
to obtain visas.
Holovchenko said that Ukraine needs to do more than simplify visa
procedures. It also needs to slash hotel rates.
Ukraine is notorious for the exorbitant rates charged for substandard
accommodations. Kyiv's Salut Hotel, which lists itself as a three?star
property, charges $115 for a single?occupancy room, according to
all?
hotels.com.ua
, an Internet?based hotel booking service. A room at the
Sport Hotel near Olympic Stadium goes for $100 a night. At the dilapidated
Druzhba, listed as a two?star hotel, a bed for the night goes for $28 per
person.
In Sophia, Bulgaria, three?star hotels rent from $45 to $50 a night,
according to 
hotelsbulgaria.com
.
Holovchenko said that one reason behind the high cost of staying in a
Ukrainian hotel is that the rates include a 20 percent room tax.
"The government should reconsider the [tax]," he said. Hotels and their
guests don't get value from the government in return, Holovchenko said.
Tsybukh said that a room tax rate cut is part of the tourist administration'
s plan. If adopted by the government, the rate would be slashed to 5
percent.
Tsybukh said that while the tax presently generates Hr 40 million a year for
the government, the country's 1,300 hotels operate at an average 25 percent
occupancy rate. A lower room tax could mean busier hotels, he said,
ultimately generating higher revenue to the state budget.
In addition to accommodations and service that are below Western standards,
travel agencies say that one of the most odious aspects for a foreigner
visiting Ukraine is a legal provision that requires foreign tourists to pay
more than their Ukrainian counterparts and CIS citizens for hotel rooms,
museums and airfare for domestic flights.
"Many people who come to our country do not understand why they should pay
more than citizens of Russia or Ukraine," said Tetyana Lysenko, the general
director of the Krym Service travel agency, which is based in Yalta.
"Unfortunately, this could be a deterrent."
Tsybukh said that the tourism administration is already thinking about ways
to level prices for all tourists, Ukrainian and foreign alike.
"It is impossible to tell right now how the prices will change, but they
will not be raised up to the level of what Europeans pay," Tsybukh said.
While travel agencies generally welcome the proposed changes for their
industry, they say a great deal more needs to be done to make improvements,
particularly on the side of hospitality.
"In the airport, foreigners are held up for a couple of hours before being
allowed to enter the country," Krym Service's Lysenko said. "The customs and
passport control officers do not speak English or German, and they are not
friendly."
Tsybukh said that the government recognizes that problem as well, and is
considering training programs for tourism?industry workers.
....Non si capisce ancora bene se il piano sia in fase attuativa o gia'
attuato per la Crimea. Speriamo venga esteso presto.
