Abstract

Ecotourism is one of the varieties of botanical tourism, which has been intensively developing since the end of the last century due to the growth of cities and an increase in the share of industrial and urban landscapes. Providing quality tourism services involves identifying and systematically studying botanical tourism objects. The most promising objects for display are local areas where rare and endangered plant species of the Eurasian continent, several countries of Europe or Belarus grow. The habitats of this category of plants can be determined from the available information in specialized publications, for example, in the Red Book of the Republic of Belarus. A significant number of habitats of rare plants are concentrated in the largest protected natural areas – nature reserves and national parks, botanical and landscape reserves. Each territory has its own specific set. The authors of the article, based on the tourist potential of the territory, identified categories of botanical objects: 1) rare and endangered plant species of the Eurasian continent, several countries of Europe or Belarus; 2) unique plant communities; 3) large populations of one or more plant species of greatest value on a global or European scale; 4) natural and natural-cultural territories, combining both unique phytocenoses with great species diversity, including rare species (in the largest protected natural areas, ancient parks, botanical gardens and greenhouses; 5) forest belts; 6) unique individual plant specimens (long-lived trees and old plantings). The authors also gave examples for each category of botanical tourism objects and reviewed competencies.
