As it was announced by Odessa City Culture and Tourism Dept Head Tatiana Markova, tourists from 51 world countries have visited Odessa this summer, “These weren’t only tourists from European countries, who traditionally visit Odessa, but also the inhabitants of rather exotic countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Chile. All of them have visited our Tourist Information Center for some help. In total, the Center has serviced nearly 10 000 tourists!”
