Ukraine is currently facing the challenge to rebuild its economy after dramatic recession caused by the crisis. Even though the necessity of general business environment improvement is not to be underestimated its economic effect could well be increased if coupled by fostering the potential of a few promising sectors with high spillover effect. As the country is facing growing world competition in its traditional export markets and is additionally constrained by the bad state of government finance it is particularly important to prioritise those sectors wisely. Ukraine’s beneficial geographical position together with its historical and natural heritage is bringing tourism into the radar of public discussion in that respect. In order to return to the sustainable growth path Ukraine should consider targeted development of few high growth potential sectors with substantial spillover effect on the rest of the economy
Does tourism have a high growth potential in Ukraine? Can the sector provide significant return on investments in short to medium term? Is its development in line with
Ukraine’s long-term social and economic goals? “For the motion” arguments Tourism represents around a third of global service trade. In many countries tourism is the largest contributor to national GDP, for example, in Croatia it contributes 17% to the country’s economy. Ukraine has a great tourism potential, which is based on its unique geographical position and a variety of tourism sights, ranging from ski resorts in the Carpathians to the Kazantip music fest and Black Sea beaches. However, this potential is currently heavily underused. Around 20 mn people cross the Ukrainian border annually, while the average amount spent per person is only $200 which is twice lower than in Russian and 3 times lower than in Poland, reaching the level of Russia could bring Ukraine additional revenue of $4bn a year.

Given its great tourism potential Ukraine should play its card right. The country can also benefit from indirect effects of tourism development. Tourism stimulates growth in related industries like retail trade and construction, creates demand for higher value-added services, and encourages development of small and medium enterprises. Furthermore, according to statistics, in Ukraine creation one workplace in tourism is tenfold cheaper than in manufacturing. Tourism development has a substantial economic and social spillover effect.
Experience of former socialist countries like Bulgaria or Croatia demonstrates that emerging economies can become highly successful tourist destinations. Effective promotion strategy and good site management can well be enough for a start. Moreover, preparation for the Euro 2012 Championship will help to solve problems with transport infrastructure, accommodation and recreation facilities in the largest cities. It will also present a good opportunity to promote Ukraine’s tourism brand worldwide.
Ukraine’s tourism value proposition is not competitive
A high quality labor force is a necessary condition for economic growth. Therefore the flight of qualified labor abroad is traditionally considered to be a big problem for developing countries as they lose talented people with key skills to countries offering improved salaries and lifestyles. Yet, in the age of globalization another approach concerning ‘brain drain’ issue has emerged: emigration of skilled labor can lead to substantial benefits to the original countries they have emigrated from, such as Ukraine. Nowadays, countries can develop not only with the help of the domestic human capital but by effectively managing their human resources abroad as well. “Brain drain” is traditionally considered to be a threat to a country’s economic development. Yet potential benefits of emigration are usually not taken into account
So can Ukraine’s economy benefit from the emigration of talent? Should the country encourage emigration and focus on increasing the effectiveness of its interaction with emigrants, or concentrate instead on keeping its talented workers here in inside the country?
