According to Oleksandr Koval, the main task of tourism workers in Zakarpattia in the future is to build local tourism organisations within the territorial communities.

We need to work with accommodation and catering facilities, nature reserve and forestry institutions, cultural institutions, carriers, and improve transport logistics between hromadas. A separate issue is the inventory of existing and the creation of new tourist routes that may be of interest to guests," said Oleksandr Koval.
The training also discussed the safety of tourists in the mountains.
