Abstract

The purpose of the research is to identify the plight of the touristic industry in Ukraine during the war, which had a severe impact on the sector. As a result of the research, the problems of the touristic industry in Ukraine during the war have been analyzed and it was shown that a large part of resources were lost, the impossibility of the internal and business tourism, which caused a threatening crisis for the entire industry. The quantitative analytic method, the system analysis and synthesis method were used in the research. The peculiarity of the touristic industry is that the entire Ukrainian economy has been shifted to military lines, the touristic infrastructure has begun to provide services to refugee, territorial defence, and volunteer organizations. The main regions that are attractive for tourists are Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Transcarpathia regions. It was concluded that domestic and foreign tourism in Ukraine demonstrates a desire to preserve itself as an important economic branch, a tendency to internal transformations in the wartime reality conditions and prospects for rapid recovery in the postwar period.
