Overall Dynamics and Digital Innovations in Tourism
In the first half of 2025, tax revenues from the entire tourism sector increased by 40%, exceeding 1.8 billion hryvnias. The main drivers of this growth were hotels in Kyiv and the western regions, which continue to actively develop the tourist infrastructure.
The Ministry presented a new tourism dashboard — the first digital tool that aggregates complete industry statistics based on data from state registers. According to First Deputy Minister Alona Shkrum, this dashboard aims to make the industry more transparent and attract investors.
“The new dashboard is aimed at reducing the shadow economy in the industry and assisting investors in strategic planning”.
