Against the backdrop of war-torn industry in the Donetsk region, the occupation authorities are promoting the development of tourism as the alleged basis for economic recovery. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) of the National Security and Defense Council, according to UNN.
The occupation authorities in the Donetsk region are increasingly emphasizing the development of tourism as one of the main tools for restoring the local economy. At the same time, the collapse of industry, which was a consequence of the war and Russian occupation, is being ignored,
The so-called Ministry of Economic Development of the "DPR" claims that tourism and the hospitality industry should become the basis for the growth of production and the agro-industrial complex. Such statements sound like a mockery of the region's residents. Before the arrival of the "Russian world," the Ukrainian Donbas was a powerful industrial region. Metallurgical giants and coal mines provided stable jobs for hundreds of thousands of people.
The CCD notes that Russia came to Donbas with war and turned these enterprises into ruins.

However, tourists are in no hurry to travel to the temporarily occupied territories (TOT) given the security risks and lack of infrastructure.
