SUMMARY
At present, the development of tourism is a priority for the Carpathian region. However, the unwise construction and lack of a clear strategy for the development of recreational infrastructure has led to environmental problems in some mountain areas. An important component of diversity and the balanced development of the tourism industry is the possibility of fast analysis of the recreational potential availability and the future functions of the recreational facility. In this study, the formation of a common model of tourism potential on the example of several administrative districts was substantiated. The presented research algorithm includes: 1) conditional division of recreational resources for this region into natural-landscape, historical and artistic, socio-economic tourist resources with their internal classification; 2) spatial location of tourist resources; 3) creation of a species intensity scheme of tourist resources, which will become the basis for the creation of the urban development concept in these territories.
