Tourism and recreation their role in ensuring sustainable development of territories

Abstract

In modern conditions, tourism and recreation are becoming increasingly important in the life of society and have a profound impact on socio-economic processes and the state of the environment. They are not only a source of pleasure, but also a tool for promoting health, increasing motivation and harmonizing the internal state of people. Various forms of tourism and recreation contribute to the creation of a favorable socio-cultural environment, stimulate entrepreneurial activity, promote job creation and infrastructure development. At the same time, tourist activity can have an adverse impact on the environment, contribute to forest litter and deteriorate the quality of water resources.
