| Summary: | The publication highlights the regional conditions for the development of geotouristic forms of using paleontological objects, the territory of the NPP "Podolski Tovtry" The need to introduce and develop specialized tourism products based on the paleontological resource base and regional conditions within the Podolskie Tovtry NPP is a reaction to the concentration of tourist groups within the natural park, as well as a noticeable decrease in interest in traditional sites. Paleontological Geotourism is a specialized area of activity that requires special training. Its forms of implementation are combined with traditional tourism products, the compactness and complexity of the placement of lithological formations makes it possible to implement sharply contrasting thematic approaches (sandy Neogene beach, Silurian coral reef, mammoth tundra), and locations within mined out pits or specially equipped nature conservation objects - ecological - educational influence combined with economic and social effect. The main conditions for the development of the direction on the territory of the natural park are the set of features of the lithological base and natural geomorphological, as well as economic objects that reveal paleontological locations. The analysis of the conditions of the transport and technical infrastructure, interaction with traditional forms of nature management, as well as tourist sites, which have long been included in the regional recreational complex, has been carried out. To experimentally confirm the regional efficiency of the paleogeotourism direction, the authors of the study selected three model sites that meet these criteria, carried out in cooperation with representatives of NPP "Podilski Tovtry" and the City Council of Kamianets-Podilskyi their primary infrastructure equipment, and equipped and the museum exposition was tested and the possibilities of conducting paleontological master classes were studied. Geotourism products have been developed and partially implemented in cooperation with ...
