H.E. the Ambassador Udayanga Weeratunga visited the Fair and the Stand of Sri Lanka and presented the new Tourism Catalog about Sri Lanka in the Russian language for the Ukrainian visitors.
Every year it is UITT that kicks off the tourist season in both Ukraine and further afield. “Whole World, One Exhibition” — was the slogan chosen for Ukraine’s main tourism event of 2012. This year was the 18th time for the UITT Travel Fare in Ukraine and visitors of the exhibition were able to choose from over 50 tourist destinations around the world. UITT provided an opportunity to find out more about the most charming places in Ukraine and the world, discover interesting destinations, and share impressions, ideas and experiences. The Parliament of Ukraine annually supports the Ukraine International Tourism Exhibition UITT, which for many years has contributed to progress in the tourism industry. Benefitting from strong recovery in Europe the Ukrainian Association of Tour Business announced that outbound traffic increased by 15%-20% in the year 2011. Thanks to International Travel and Tourism Fairs, such as the UITT, similar figures can be expected for 2012.
