In Lviv:

An expert in the local museum was demonstrating the making of handicrafts for Chinese delegation.
| Ukraine cuisine is diverse and has elements of various European cuisines in the area. |
In Odessa:

| Odessa, a warm water port, is usually regarded as a tourist destination among tourists for summer trips. | Odessa is the only city in Ukraine that has entirely preserved the urban structure of a multinational southern port town typical for the late 18th - 19th centuries.

The fam-trip will allow the delegates to return home and share their own experiences at the destinations and encourage travelers to choose Ukraine as a destination location.
Now, Chinese citizens can obtain 15-day Ukrainian entry visas upon their arrival if they have a document confirming the business or tourist purpose of the visit. Amid the liberalization of the visa policy, the number of Chinese visitors to Ukraine has risen by more than 50 percent and reached 20,555 visitors in 2016, marking a record in the past 10 years.
After Chinese delegation finishes the trip in Ukraine, they will visit Moldova, one of the neighboring countries of Ukraine, that is a beautiful destination rich in tourism resources as well.
