There were a lot of disputes while Ukraine was hosting European football championship – Euro 2012 together with Poland. First, there are a lot of stereotypes about Ukraine in European countries. In some countries famous people, politicians, former football players warned their countrymen from visiting Ukraine because of its undeveloped infrastructure, corruption and the high level of crime.
Besides, there were a lot of skeptics inside Ukraine who talked that our country was not ready to host such a kind of an international competition as European Championship and to service a great amount of international tourists. These talks were proved by the negative facts when some Ukrainians tried to profiteer on Euro and set much higher prices for everything including accommodation rent.
While planning a visit to Ukraine to EURO 2012 a lot of foreigners have faced with a problem of apartment rent. The hotels set very high prices for this period of time so that many of fans started thinking about the refusal to visit EURO 2012. Others tried to find alternative cheaper ways like living in Turkey or just flying by plane to see a match and coming back on the same day.
