PECULIARITIES OF CREATING A TOURIST-EXCURSION ROUTE FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Abstract

The article examines the problems of Ukraine in the formation of tourist-excursion routes. The analysis of the available methodical approaches to the formation of tourist-excursion routes showed that the focus should be directed on the accessibility of such routes for people with disabilities. The sequence of organization of tourist-excursion route for persons with disabilities is proposed. The main components of an accessible tourist-excursion route for people with disabilities are the starting, intermediate and final points, trails and roads that connect or branch them. The methodical approaches to the formation of a competitive tourist-excursion route with a step-by-step solution of complex organizational and economic problems are specified. The method of developing a tourist-excursion route for people with disabilities has been improved. A program of tourist-excursion route for people with disabilities has been developed. A tour for people with disabilities "Special Rest" is offered, designed for 7 people (3 people in wheelchairs, 4 accompanying) who want to lead an active lifestyle. The theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in a systematic approach to the subject of research, which makes it possible to use the results obtained during the formation of tourist-excursion routes for people with disabilities. It is concluded that the studies of domestic and foreign scientists on the design of a tourist product for people with disabilities often do not consider the technology of designing tourist routes, so it is necessary to create methodical approaches to forming a rational tourist route, which will be based on the principles of competitive tourist product development where all the researched factors are taken into account.
