The winter season in the Carpathians traditionally attracts tourists with snow and mountain landscapes, however, the prices for accommodation vary significantly depending on the resort and the type of housing. With the arrival of December, demand for rentals sharply rises, with the most bookings going to Bukovel and the surrounding settlements. This is reported by Visit Ukraine.
Market analytics for daily rentals show that over the year, the cost of housing at certain resorts has changed noticeably. The difference between renting a private house and a hotel room can reach several thousand hryvnias per day, so tourists increasingly choose less popular locations.
