Despite the full-scale invasion of russia, the tourism industry in Ukraine continues to develop and pay taxes. Even russia's constant attacks on tourism infrastructure have not forced Ukrainian tourism to stop. For example, the sea pearl of Ukraine, Odesa, has repeatedly suffered from russian aggression, including the historic city center and the sea station.

But for comparison, in the first 9 months of 2021, the pre-war year, only 18% more taxes were paid than in the same period of the current year. This means that despite a significant reduction in the tourism industry, Ukrainians and foreign visitors continue to travel around the country even in such a difficult time.

We will tell you how tourism in Ukraine is recovering during the war in the article below, citing the report of the State Agency for Tourism Development.

How has the number of taxpayers changed during the war?

As of 2021, the total number of taxpayers in the tourism industry was 23,540, including: 7,055 legal entities and 16,485 individuals. However, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, there has been a gradual decline in their number. Thus, in 2022, the total number decreased to 16,951 people (4,518 legal entities, 12,433 individuals), and in 2023 to 15,032 people (3,424 legal entities, 11,608 individuals).
