Five Ukrainian villages to compete for the title of the best in the world
Five Ukrainian villages have received a chance to gain international recognition. They have been included in the list of candidates for the title of the world's best tourism villages according to the UN World Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) for 2026.
This initiative is aimed at supporting rural areas that preserve their cultural traditions and care for the environment. Participation in such a prestigious competition helps to promote Ukrainian tourism on a global level and attract new visitors to the picturesque corners of our country.
UN Tourism experts will evaluate the villages based on several important criteria. Among them are infrastructure development, preservation of authentic architecture, support for local crafts, and responsible attitudes toward nature. For Ukrainian communities, this is an opportunity to showcase their unique character and hospitality.
The winners of the competition will receive the status of the best tourism villages, which will contribute to their further development and economic growth. It is expected that the results of the selection will be an important step in strengthening Ukraine's image as an attractive tourist destination, even in difficult times.
The final results of the competition will be announced later. For now, Ukrainians are eagerly awaiting the decision of the international experts, hoping for the success of our villages on the world stage.
