The article is aimed at analyzing the proposals from leading operators in the tourist market of Ukraine, in particular in the city of Kharkiv. The article analyzes the charter offers of travel operators for the summer season 2020. After the analysis, it can be stated that travel operators plan to significantly increase volumes for Turkey (for example, two flights a week to the Turkish Dalaman are planned (in the season 2019, one flight per week was operated)). It is worth noting that travel operators also plan to significantly increase volumes for European areas, in particular Italy. In addition to the proposed flights to the swimming and beach resorts, the summer navigation will also feature direct flights of the airline Ernest, which will allow to develop interesting excursion routes, focusing on the arrival airports in Rome and Milan. At the same time, the expediency of increasing the volume of flights to Calabria can be questioned, because two flights a week is too much for a place that has not yet become a mass resort, which means that it experiences problems with infrastructure development and sufficient availability of accommodation facilities. The article analyzes the proposals of leading operators in the tourist market of Ukraine, according to the findings it can be noted that almost all travel operators - leaders in the number of tourists served consider the Kharkiv region as an attractive market for expanding travel content. The leaders in the number of tourists served were two travel operators who have their own airlines, namely: Sky Up (Join Up) and Azur Air Ukraine (Anex Tour). The undisputed leader in the number of exclusive destinations represented with a guaranteed flight is Join Up, and there is also a tendency to increase volumes with the travel operator TUI. On the basis of a survey, the best travel operators were identified by the ratings of agent-friendly and tourist-friendly, they were: Tez Tour, Join Up, Pegas Touristik, Coral Travel, and TUI.
