PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF INCLUSIVE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE

Creating an accessible environment for people with disabilities is currently one of the most important challenges facing the tourism industry. Hostilities caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine have inflicted considerable damage on both military personnel and the civilian population. Unfortunately, as a result, the number of people with disabilities in Ukraine is steadily increasing. These individuals require rehabilitation and restoration of their physical, emotional, and mental well-being, which they can achieve through tourism. Therefore, there is an urgent need to organize an accessible tourism environment for people affected by hostilities and war.
