Abstract

It is determined in the article that cartographic works that represent the integral image and complex characteristic of a certain territory, giving the possibility of orientation in space and time, remain the basic resource in the information support of tourism. The author focuses his attention on updating the thematic content of tourist maps, in particular, reflected objects and manifestations of the intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine. Based on the analysis of tourist maps, regarding the volume and means of information saturation, a broad representation of objects of a fixed heritage: natural, historical, cultural, archaeological, architectural, ritual is studied. Information about the objects and manifestations of the intangible cultural heritage, in addition to the objects of UNESCO and some famous crafts, is insufficient. In the case of information overload of the map, the possibilities in the depicted objects of thematic content are limited, their readability and orientation become more complicated. The necessity of further scientific research and practical developments for displaying the expanded species composition of objects and manifestations of the heritage, unification of the system of symbols is substantiated. Measures to improve tourist maps are proposed through wider introduction of cartographic modeling techniques, GIS technologies; perfection of figurative means; enrichment of information content of maps; improvement of design; expanding the range of cartographic works.
