Abstract:

Challenges and future directions of tourism development in Ukraine, as well as the experience of travel by rail are overviewed in the article. It was revealed that transport in Ukraine is in disrepair in continuous underfunding of the state railways, the rolling stock is on the verge of overaged, level of service does not meet European requirements. To overcome the crisis it is need to introduce new services for railway and interested investors to invest in these new areas. One of the new services offered to introduce in railways, given the positive experience of foreign countries, is the railway tourism. The scheme of tourist flows in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine was developed. The main flow of tourists were shown for coming to rest in Transcarpathia with neighboring countries, which have road, rail and air traffic as well as internal flows with Ukraine that come in the Transcarpathian region by road, rail and air transport. The structure of tourist and traffic transfer by narrow gauge rolling stock was developed. Methodical approach was improved for determining income from the transportation of passengers and tourists by the various types of narrow gauge rolling stock, which allows separately the transfer of passenger to the rest area and in reverse motion and tourist travel on certain routes to different rolling stock that will accurately predict the economic activities of travel agencies and establish the value of rail fares and the cost of permits.
