The Ukraine International Travel Market was attended by the United Nations World Tourism Organization along with 200 travel agencies of Ukraine and nearly 30 other countries, serving an estimated 15,000 visitors. 

It is held twice a year as one of the biggest events for Ukraine’s travel industry. In 2016, the travel fair drew about 14,000 visitors. 

Tourism is among major fields of cooperation between Vietnam and Ukraine. Two-way trade has grown, with a 12 percent rise in 2016 to USD 264.2 million and a 19.1 percent increase year-on-year in the first seven months of 2017.
