Abstract

The scientific article examines the experience of the legal regulation of ecotourism in Poland. Poland is Ukraine's western neighbor and has passed the European integration path, so the application of Poland's positive experience in legal regulation of natural resources for ecotourism will be really useful. In particular, special attention is paid to the issues of clear delineation of the concept of ecotourism (rural green tourism), the purpose of ecotourism is determined. This scientific article directly analyzes the Polish legislation and identifies the main criteria that distinguish ecological / rural green tourism from other types of tourism. In general, it is determined that the experience of Poland in the legal regulation of ecotourism and its use of natural resources for ecotourism is quite progressive, as Polish legislation contains a number of provisions that address various issues that are not regulated in Ukraine. This scientific article highlights some aspects of the legal regulation of ecotourism (rural green tourism) in Poland, which may be useful for Ukraine. This scientific article presents proposals that can be tested by the domestic legislator in the process of formulating legislation on the use of natural resources for ecotourism.

Keywords: ecotourism, legal regulation of ecotourism, ecotourism resources, ecotourism legislation of Ukraine, ecotourism legislation of Poland
