During the Soviet era and following the collapse of the USSR. How post-Soviet states are (re)building their tourism sector. The examples of Ukraine and Georgia by Nataliia Moroz

“…In terms of domestic and hospitality tourism, these are more specifically areas under permanent (re)construction as a result of not only historical and political changes, but also identity and remembrance discourses that, moreover, mark their respective heritage landscapes. Ukraine and Georgia are two such symbolic examples through their quest to ‘de-Sovietise’ their tourism dynamics by changes in political discourses leading, on the one hand, to a war of monuments and remembrance, but also, on the other hand, to a ‘mythologisation’ and a ‘folklorisation’ of their tourist areas.…”
