KIEV, May 24 (Xinhua) -- A total of 92 percent of foreign tourists, who visited Kiev for the Eurovision-2017 Song Contest, hope to return to Ukraine, a recent survey showed Wednesday.

The survey, carried out by the GfK Ukraine research center at the request of the Institute of World Policy, found that Ukraine has met the hopes of 51 percent of Eurovision fans and beaten the expectations of 47 percent of others.

Among the main advantages of Ukraine, those surveyed listed Ukrainian people, entertainment infrastructure and culture.

In the same time, transport, public infrastructure and the low number of English-speakers were named as major negative aspects of Ukraine.

The survey was carried out between May 9 and May 13 in central Kiev among 1,060 foreigners, who said they came to Ukraine to attend the Eurovision.

The 62nd Eurovision Song Contest was held in Kiev on May 7-13, attracting about 70,000 people from Ukraine and abroad.
