Dear Friend of  Ukraine.

“Research and Development center of the Carpathian region “Karpathy-USA” is pleased to respectfully take this opportunity to offer you cooperation with us in a form of financial assistance to our projects involving research of tourism development in the Carpathian region of Ukraine and promoting this new market to the U.S. and Western tourists.

Our center operates in the Carpathian territorial region of Ukraine including Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Transcarpathian and Chernivtsi administrative units. Carpathian region is located in the Western part of Ukraine and borders with Poland, Hungary, and Czech Republic. The Center is located in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, western Ukraine. Since 2001, the Center’s mission is to conduct scientific research and analysis of new tendencies development in tourism industry of Ukraine and further implement them in the Carpathian region. To achieve that, we have been introducing proposals on development of the normative base of the tourism industry, working with local and state universities, research groups and other non-governmental, non-for-profit, and international tourist organizations. Our activities include: (1) providing scientific research on various aspects of tourism development in Carpathians; (2) organizing seminars, conferences, round-table discussions with interested parties; (3) monitoring the quality and safety standards of tourism industry in the region; (4) developing expert services for Western tourists; (5) distributing relevant and useful information about tourism in the Carpathian region. Our ten people staff works hard to provide high-quality research information about the future trends and development opportunities for the Carpathian region that would meet the demands of Western and U.S. tourists.

Carpathian Mountains are frequently referred as the “Ukrainian Alps” for its beauty and perfect conditions for both winter and summer recreational activities. Unfortunately, issues of tourism development in Carpathian regions are not being properly addressed by the Ukrainian government at this point.

That is why our organization desperately needs your financial assistance to keep our projects operational! With your help we could: (1) launch regional offices throughout the region; (2) publish more educational materials about the Carpathians in our genuine effort to promote tourism among the Westerners for whom our region remains mostly unexplored; (3) shoot a documentary film about our region’s main tourist attractions, etc.

I greatly appreciate your generosity and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

Yaroslav Kabin
Head of the Board
