Abstract
A number of authors 1-4 describe the concept of tourist and recreational resources as a combination of various components and factors of natural and anthropogenic origin that create favourable conditions for recreational activities. Tourist resources are part of an extensive group of recreational resources. They can be defined as a set of elements of the natural environment, as well as objects and phenomena created by man, suitable for the production of tourist and excursion services and meeting the diverse needs of tourists. The category of tourist resources is quite complex and ambiguous. As a resource, such phenomena as the beauty of landscapes, landscape diversity, exotic nature and spiritual culture of the country can be considered. The intangibility of many types of tourist resources creates significant difficulties in their assessment by the organizers of recreation; in most cases, such an assessment itself is based on the subjective opinion of the tourists themselves or experts involved in the analysis of the tourist potential of the territory.
