Prospects of tourism development within the nature protected areas of Kharkiv region
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to highlight the possibilities and prospects for the development of tourism within the protected areas of Kharkiv region.
Main material. The article considers theoretical aspects of the concept of tourist potential. The place of Kharkiv region among the regions of Ukraine by nature protection territories is highlighted in the study. Despite the fact that Kharkiv region has the lowest conservation rate among other regions of Ukraine, there are still objects within its framework that deserve our attention.
Today, the regional landscape park “Izyumska Luka” does not correspond to the rank of the highest value, but is under consideration for transfer to a national natural park. The diversity of flora and fauna, the attractiveness of landscapes, the availability of water resources and communication routes near the park - all this contributes to the development of tourist activities within its boundaries. At the same time, socio-economic preconditions, such as the low level of infrastructure development near the park as well as lack of qualified labor resources complicate its further possible use, and in some cases even make it impossible.
Conclusions and further research. The regional landscape park “Izyumska Luka” is a favourable place for eco-trail within its territory. Rich representatives of flora and fauna are the scientific value of the park, which can further attract tourists to this place. The route that we have built within the park can be used in practice because in addition to its attractiveness, it also relies on the zoning of the park, including only accessible areas for tourists, which is important for further preserving the scientific value of this area.
The issues that hinder the development of this type of tourism include infrastructural services: low level and quality of transport links; service establishments: hotels, hostels, campings, cafes; lack of qualified labor resources; low paying capacity of the population; not interested in this type of tourism; lack of image of the territory, complex information support.
Creation of a virtual ecological tour is promising within the regional landscape park “Izyumska Luka”. This type of tourism will help to draw attention to the object, increase the interest of the population and help start working on the image of the territory and its advertising. Moreover, in the future, it will contribute to the introduction and approval of this route on the ground.
