Закарпаття не відмовляється від туризму через індустріалізацію, розвиватимуть обидві галузі - ОВА

Taras Tryndiak, Director of the Department of Economic and Regional Development of the Transcarpathian RMA, said in a comment to Ukrinform.

He also noted that gastro-tourism has potential for development.

"Features of Transcarpathian cuisine, the development of craft production with high added value. We have all this, but it is not fully formulated as a proposal - and this is also the highlight that can attract tourists to Transcarpathia, "Trindyak added.

At the same time, according to Oleksandr Koval, an expert on the tourism market of Transcarpathia and a consultant on the development of territories, statements about changing the development strategy of the region from tourist to industrial demoralize many employees of the tourism market.

"If we talk about the case with the development of mountains by wind farms, for example, it demoralizes the owners of estates and tourism business, because it destroys what people go to Transcarpathia for. In the long term, this will reduce the tourist attractiveness of the region, "he says.
