Methodological foundations of inclusive tourism in the system of regional development of Ukraine

The subject of the research is directions and approaches to the introduction of inclusive tourism in the socio–economic system of regional development of Ukraine. The purpose of this article is to determine the methodological foundations for the introduction of inclusive tourism in the process of providing tourism services to categories of people with inclusion in the system of regional socio–economic development of Ukraine. The methodology of the work – methods of assessment (the prospects for the provision of rehabilitation and health services by attracting them to tourism activities), comparison (methods of social behavior of people with inclusion in the framework of the socio–economic system of relationships) and synthesis (development of a structural–block model of inclusive tourism, which reflects social rehabilitation environment and will be able to function in the economic and regional system of Ukraine. Results of the work – the processes and forms of providing tourism and rehabilitation services for inclusive tourists within the framework of socio–economic programs for regional development of Ukraine have been analyzed. Considering inclusive tourism as a direction of sociology and economics, we understand that in order to detail the processes of providing rehabilitation services, it is necessary to have a sample (template) of those types of tourist services that can be used in regional tourism. It should be mentioned that people with disabilities (blind, deaf, dumb, spinal, cerebral palsy patients, etc.) need special attention in the process of organizing a tourist trip. Each of the nosologies has its own method of social behavior, medical indicators of treatment and adaptation, a list of recreational territories that have (or had) a natural recreational resource and clearly prescribed recommendations for their use. It is logical in this context to apply the development of a structural–block model of inclusive tourism, which reflects the social rehabilitation environment and can function in the economic and regional system of Ukraine. The directions of inclusive rehabilitation and the main rehabilitation functions of tourism are determined in the form of a block diagram of the structure of the implementation of inclusive tourism in the socio– economic system of development of the regions of Ukraine. The factors limiting or influencing the possibility of organizing inclusive tourism have been identified. A typical structure for the development and implementation of regional target programs in the field of inclusive tourism is proposed. The information provided on the types of rehabilitation through the provision of tourist services that correspond to modern trends in the development of society and will provide an opportunity to build a unified state system of rehabilitation and social protection of the population of Ukraine, taking into account the characteristics of the regional economy of each territory taken. Conclusions are formulated regarding the adaptive model of inclusive tourism, which will help to understand the essence and structure of this regional project, which for the first time offers comprehensive assistance in the form of tourism services. Scope of the results. Economic branch: management of the national economy, regional economics, economic theory, social and economic geography. Conclusions – a statement of the prospects for the development of methodological foundations for the provision of rehabilitation and tourism services, in accordance with international regulatory documents, within the framework of the development of inclusive tourism as a new direction of the tourism sector and a segment of regional economic development in Ukrain
