but very effective event |

The newly formed Universal Tourism Alliance chose the event for their debut appearance |
Whilst dominated by the stands of the Ukrainian Travel Companies and domestic destinations, the International Participants are always pleased with the spectacular number of visitors and the superb organisation of the event.
"Ukraine is still a very specialised market and the potential has been recognised by the pioneers in Eastern Tourism. The conditions are quite different to Russia and new companies should seek professional advise before embarking on costly promotions"
The next major event to take place in Ukraine is UITT 2002 03-06 April 2002 and the dates for Ukraine'2002 will be announced shortly. See also our Tourism Events section
