Abstract
The article identifies the main conditions and resources for the formation and development of tourist activity in Chernivtsi region as a cross-border region. Due to its spatial predisposition, particular attention is paid to socio-geographical assessment and diagnosis of favourable and unfavourable factors, as well as those that determine the functional-sectoral structure and territorial organization of tourism activity. As a group of them, a socio-geographical position (cross-border provision,); settlement network, demo-reproduction situation and employment of the population; level of economic development; the potential of tourism services. In terms of population density, Chernivtsi Oblast is fourth in Ukraine and this figure is higher by 38.1 % than the average in Ukraine. The most populated are plain and foothill areas. The housing stock of the region is sufficient and corresponds to the national level – 22.1 m2/per inhabitant, better the living conditions are provided by the villagers (23.4 m2/person) than urban (20.2 m2/per person). The oblast has a considerable length and extensive network of communication paths. This contributes to the intensity of transportation, commodity exchange, the provision of the consumer market, increasing the opportunities for the transfer of tourists. However, in recent years, road construction has been at a much slower pace than in previous periods. The work of educational, medical, cultural and artistic institutions plays an important role in tourism employment. The article provides a detailed analysis of the functioning of the social infrastructure of the region. Bukovina as a cross-border region has many structural components of recreational resources; it is a region of multifaceted summer, winter, mountain-sports, mass cognitive-recreational rest. The use of statistical methods and quantitative indicators allowed to identify the features and specifics of tourism activity, to substantiate the prospects for improving the organization, structure and sustainable development.
