This is such hogwash! Obviously the writer is babbling on without taking time to find the facts.
As a tour company we have worked hard to be able to specialize in providing travel services to and within Ukraine, including being able to secure invitations for our travellers.
The fact that I have set up a partnership with a Ukraine company has created employment for them in Ukraine.
I can supply invitations only because the Ukraine government demands(in some cases demanded)it be so.
I can take care of securing their visa at exactly the same price it would cost them, visa fee, courier services etc, and so there is less frustration for the traveller. It is a service.
"False invitations" that is really stupid! Every invitation issued has to have a reference number therefore registered in Ukraine. Try and get a visa with a false invitation.
We specialize in travel to and within Ukraine. We can supply anything and everything. Hotel accommodations, rail and air tickets, guides, translators, transfers, security and the list goes on. Go to a travel agent and buy your air ticket....now try and get the above services. Forget it. I have had many clients who call telling me they just booked their air fare to Ukraine but their travel agent can't do anymore. That is where we come in. Do you think we just happen to do this? We have worked hard to attain the expertise we now have.
Not everything we do has to relate to money. We do many things free of charge.
Bottom line evrything we do creates employment in Ukraine for hotels, bus companies, guides, restaurants and ordinary citizens. What does your nonsense do.....nothing!
: To get a visa you just need a travel agent with connections and pay him enough money for false invitations.
: We all know that is how it is done.
: This gives no security for the Ukraine and the bribes don't even get to the people of the country who need it.
: Don't underestimate the value of tourist money to the economy
