Abstract

The issues of the development of inclusive tourism in Ukraine are considered, taking into account the socio-economic aspects of the development of the regions of Ukraine. The international experience of introducing inclusive tourism as a product of the tourism sector is analyzed, with the provision of estimated indicators of the economic prospects for the development of this direction, as well as the requirements of ЕТАN. A socio-economic model for the development and implementation of inclusive tourism in the regions of Ukraine is proposed, taking into account the resource and infrastructural potential of the regions. The problems and prospects for the implementation of this direction of rehabilitation in Ukrainian society, especially for an inclusive group of tourists with disabilities of various forms and nosologies have been identified. For Ukraine, the problem of social assistance to people with disabilities, who belongs to one of the categories of inclusive tourism, is relevant and requires a serious approach to practical solutions.

This issue is of particular importance for Ukrainian society, given the significant increase in the number of people with disabilities as a result of hostilities in eastern Ukraine (military, civilian population of the occupied territories, internally displaced persons). Their rehabilitation requires special methods and professional rehabilitation approaches and measures, taking into account the length of stay in the zone of military conflict and the level of stressful situations. Attention is focused on the procedure for providing high-quality comprehensive assistance to rehabilitants, which will solve the issue of correcting the physical condition of people and give them the opportunity to work adaptation in modern society in the presence of financial and material capabilities of the regions.
