Tourism, as an important factor in inter-branch co-operation and improvement of market relations, is directly linked to the intellectual, cultural and economic potential of Ukraine.

Data show that tourism is one of the most profitable and dynamic growth industries.

Ukraine has great potential for developing tourism: excellent geographic and climatic conditions, historical and cultural resources. Over 125 thousand archaeological, architectural, and historical monuments, some dating from the 10th -11th century, and hundreds of museums reflect the remarkable history of the Ukrainian people, who have made worthy contributions to world culture. Towns over 1,000 years old, most of which are situated in the domain of medieval Kyivan Rus, await discovery.

The most important and valuable historical, architectural and cultural monuments are concentrated in the regions around Kyiv, Chernyhiv, Sumy, Poltava, Cherkasy and in the lands of Galychyna and Podillia. The beauty and significance of these monuments and of objects of art and frescoes found in this area, have been the motivating factor in creating a system of tourist itineraries named "The Necklace of Slavutych" (Slavutych is the ancient Slavic name of the Dnipro River). This system will promote the development of tourist packages designed to expose and inform the traveller about the rich and complex history of Ukraine.
