A founder of the Youth Hostels Network Dr. Richard Shirmann said: "Every forest, every valley, every flower, every mountain, every village and every city are separate pages of your Motherland. You should read these pages in your own experience and not in books.

The Earth is huge. When you travel, you see the details, and this is the biggest joy on the planet. For this purpose we are now opening Youth Hostels.

However, you also need to travel outside your country, to meet your neighbours, to know them better and to appreciate those who speak other language and have different history. To do this, I am now calling upon you, our friends and neighbours, to open Youth Hostels and to do it for all young people on the Earth. They must become places of peace and comfort for the good of all humanity! Since 2005 hostels chain of the trade mark "Youth Tourism & Hostels of Ukraine" is appears in Ukraine.
