Sure, can say that castles and palaces are the calling card of Transcarpathian region. On the territory Transcarpathian region are twelve buildings and ruins of medieval castles (Uzhgorod, Mukachevo, Seredne, Chynadiyovo, Hust, Vinogradov etc.). They lost their original functionality, but most of them it ruins. Attractions tourist facilities are also palaces that are preserved in Transcarpathian region more than ten (Mukachevo, Dovhe, Uzhgorod, Beregovo etc.).

ANALYSIS OF THE TERRITORY FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF TOURISM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTS 4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION IN TOURISM 3 INTRODUCTION his research examines the tourism issues related to international borders. The dis- cussion is framed around the example of countries with strained border relations, T specifically Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. The challenges associated with border trade in tourism and the barriers associated with the collaboration between destinations are ex- plored. However, the greatest attention is paid to the influence of the Cross-border Cooper- ation Programme Poland – Belarus – Ukraine 2007-2013 (“the Programme”) on the devel- opment of local tourism, on the generation of new business connections and tourist products. Over the last two decades, the tourism hospitality industry has been a central component to the growth of many new economies. The tourism industry provides jobs in large and small communities and has been the catalyst for economic development in many regions. City tourism is becoming increasingly popular; it offers visitors a vibrant, exquisite, and cognitive PHOTOGRAPH: JTS 4 environment that differs from the seaside or countryside.

  • Budget Holiday in Ukraine
    L. Segeda, Bachelor student L. Petliovana, PhD in Ped., As. Prof., language advisor Khmelnytsky National University BUDGET HOLIDAY IN UKRAINE People all over the world love to save, even citizens of well-off countries. After all, it's so nice – both to travel, and to spend not too much with it. In Ukraine, it is more important because today Ukraine and most Ukrainians are experiencing an economic crisis. But people want to travel, so they are looking for a budget holiday. Because of this, I chose this particular theme. I made a list of the most accessible Ukrainian cities for tourists, where it is interesting to go on a weekend. So, a budget holiday in Ukraine. In fact, we can travel budgetary everywhere. For example: Ternopil Ternopil is a city from the must-see list for any Ukrainian traveler. In addition to the number of monuments and medieval historical places there is another advantage in this city: the budget of your trip to Ternopil cannot exceed 1000 UAH. Once being there, be sure to visit the Dominican Church, the Ternopil Castle, the Zbarazsky Palace, the Pototsky and Vyshnevetsky Palace - in the vicinity of the city. In the city itself it is worth taking a walk in the park "Topilche" and visiting the local "Champs-Elysees". People with a strong psyche can look into the gloomy chambers of the Museum of Political Prisoners of the Soviet Period. And the Regional History Museum will be pleased with the historical, ethnographic, archaeological exhibits, sculptural compositions of the famous Johann Pinzel. The mood of Venice is a romantic place with a distinctive architectural ensemble, an arcade, columns and a restaurant-gallery.
