Editor’s Note: Kyiv public relations specialist Zhanna Kobylinska’s “Good News Ukraine” blog sticks to uplifting news and steers clear of controvers.
How can modern Kyiv attract tourists?
Ukraine is the one of the largest countries in Europe. Kyiv city is its capital. If you fly over Kyiv on a plane, the city resembles a heart through which the main artery, the Dnipro River, flows. It is, probably, symbolic: Kyiv is incredibly hospitable.
Planes from all over the world daily arrive in and depart from two international airports. It means 9 million tourists a year.
What attracts people in Kyiv? It is a pleasant climate, honest people, special rhythm of hills, and soft wisdom. It is centuries-long history, culture, atmosphere, and special style of life. A closer examination, however, shows that citizens of Kyiv are rarely in a hurry, they do not run, as in other capitals, even in peak hours. It might be another explanation of Kyiv popularity: you will not feel any fuss even in the very center of Kyiv downtown.
