Page "Tourism in Ukraine" Paragraph 10

The country's tourism industry is generally considered to be underdeveloped, but it does provide crucial support for Ukraine's economy.

Ukraine does have certain advantages, including much lower costs than other European destinations, as well as visa-free access for most people from Europe, the former Soviet Union, and North America.

Since 2005 citizens of European Union and EFTA, USA, Canada, Japan and South Korea no longer require a visa to visit Ukraine for tourism purposes.

Also, no visa has been required for citizens of Russia, and other CIS countries ( except Turkmenistan ).
