Because of the collapse of the hryvnia Ukrainians "forget" about England:

Most of all, the number of tourists fell within the "Schengen area

Total tourist flow of Ukrainians abroad in January-July of 2015 decreased by almost 50%. This was reported by the commercial Director of one of the tourist companies Arkady Maslov.

According to experts, this is due to the unstable economic and political situation, the devaluation of the national currency and the military conflict in Eastern Ukraine.

"The fall of the outbound travel market from the beginning of the year was about 50%. But the next summer season, we predicted the growth of this indicator. Especially hope for Egypt," said Maslov.

However, he added that the most affected countries of the Schengen destinations. Tourist flows to Spain and Italy declined by more than 50%. And most of all suffered this year Greece.

According to Maslov, the main summer destination for Ukrainian tourists remains Turkey.

Attaché for cultural Affairs and information of the Turkish Embassy in Ukraine, Berat Yildiz, in turn, announced data showing that the number of tourists of Ukrainians in this country since the beginning of the year decreased by 3.5%.

"In 2014 the number of tourists Ukrainians in Turkey amounted to more than 411 thousand people. For the first 7 months of 2015 visited Turkey 387,3 thousands of Ukrainians that shows a decline compared to the same period last year by 3.5%. But considering the fact that August of 2015 for all indicators far exceeded the performance of last year, we expect that this decline will be compensated," said Yildiz.

According to the Director of marketing and sales of package tours Taras Demura, the decline in tourist areas is observed in almost all countries. While recently there has been a decline in the prices of the tours, but given the devaluation of the national currency, the Ukrainians of this reduction do not feel.
