 In an era of growing political turmoil, the tourism sector is facing significant challenges.
 The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of political instability on tourim destination development. To do this, the following methodology is used: analysis of dynamics of the main indicators of tourism sector development: tourist arrivals, tourism receipts and capital investment in travel and tourism industry. The comparative analysis of the changes in the indices of the tourism sector operation in different countries in terms of political instability has allowed identifying the most effective methods of crisis management. Political stability and safety are prerequisites for tourism; even the threat of events such as civil unrest and terrorism can cause tourists to rethink their decision to visit a destination. The impact of political instability on a destination’s tourism sector is both immediate and potentially long-lasting. In addition, in some circumstances, instability in one country may have an impact on the tourism sector of neighboring countries. Countries affected by political unrest inevitably experience a decline in the number of international tourists and tourism receipts.
 The novelty of the approach implemented in the study is in determining the main challenges which hamper tourism business in times of political turbulence. In particular, yet had not been considered, that the main factors translating political turbulence into a decline in international tourist arrivals relate to media reporting of political conflict, as well as any accounts of negative experiences from family and friends.
 The practical aspect of this study allows designating the effective measures to revamp the tourism during and in the post-crisis period. So, the course of action for reviving tourism industry of host country should be targeted at four key fields: crisis management, perception management, incentives for tourists and business, rebranding of the tourism destination.
Keywords: political instability, tourist destination, crisis management.

The aim. The aim of the article is to develop proposals for promotion of the national gastronomic traditions, by means of gastronomic tourism as well, by studying the experience of the European Union countries.
Methods. The article is devoted to the social aspects of gastronationalism as the current trend of the global economy and the possibility of its development in the Ukrainian realities, particularly in the food industry and in the industry of hospitality and travel. Based on the study of legal regulation of the traditional products, analyzing the practice of protecting the typical national or regional products, the possibilities to support the production of standard products is investigated. Such support enables the use of natural substances and energy to create traditional process chains, adapted to the human life and the natural environment of the area.
Results. Despite the presence of rich national traditions and acknowledged Ukraine's place as a major food producer, Ukrainian food national identity was not given enough attention even in the period of independence. Modern approaches to the formation of gastronationalism as a protection policy of local commodities and as a method of the special incentives for tourist attractions are analyzed. Also the characteristics of typical foods in the context of a qualitative analysis of gastronomic tourism opportunities are described.
Scientific novelty. National and regional products never seen as unique and those whose names and production technology need protection. The possibility of their use for the creation of tourist attractions is only beginning now to be recognized as a relevant and requires further study and development, based on the experience of the European Union. These problems are particularly important due to the Association Agreement with the EU, where there is a clear legal regulation of quality of agricultural products and foodstuffs.
The practical importance. Practical measures to promote gastronomic tourism in Ukraine are proposed based on the use of national culinary traditions, world experience and European standards.
Keywords: gastronationalism, gastronomic tourism, typical products, the geographical origin of products.

 Purpose. The aim of the study is assessment of bioclimate of Kyiv during the calendar summer using modern bioclimatic index (BI) - Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET).
 Methods. RayMan model was used for obtaining PET values. The daily data of air temperature and relative humidity, cloud cover and wind speed measured at 12.00 UTC in the summer months June to August in 2005-2014 were used for simulations. Identification of heat waves (HW) cases based on the definition, recommended by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
 Results. During the calendar summer most days characterized by thermal stress of different intensity - in different months their frequency varies from 70 to 86,8 % and mean frequency of comfort weather varies only from 10,6 to 20 %. During the HW cases in Kyiv 92 % of days characterize by strong and extreme heat stress. Thus, weather conditions which observed during the summer in Kiev can lead to overheating of the body and heat stress in most cases.
 Scientific novelty. Assessment of the bioclimate of Kyiv using modern BI - physiologically equivalent temperature was carried out for the first time. This index based on the equation of energy balance of the human body and takes into account all groups of the factors affecting on thermal perception of the human body in the urban environment, and it is one of the most objective BI for solving such type of tasks.
 The practical significance. The obtained results can be used to enhance the comfort of residence and staying of a big amount of people in city by developing and implementing of adaptation measures to the heat, choosing of the optimal period for visiting of the city, the development of the infrastructure for recreation and tourism in the city during the hot periods.
 Keywords: bioclimate, physiological equivalent temperature, thermal comfort, heat stress, heat wave, recreation.

Purpose. The main objective of this article is the identification of water bodies in the sub-basin of Dereluy river basin and their typology.
Methods. As part of the transboundary Prut River Basin, Dereluy river sub-basin, the typology of water bodies, it should be done in accordance with common methodological approach proposed in the Water Framework Directive of the European Union (EU WFD). The first step is to identify the definition of water bodies. And only after that water body types divided according to system A or under system B. In our study used the system A - abiotic typology and appropriate descriptors.
Results. Abiotic typology of water bodies in sub-basin of Dereluy River is fulfilled. There are 2 categories of water bodies in the sub-basin - rivers, significantly modified and artificial water bodies, the total amount of which is 162. Allocated 127 river water bodies belong to 4 types. Identified 27 artificial water bodies and 8 - substantially modified water body.
Scientific novelty. Identification and typology conducted not only for the main river and for its tributaries with the length less than 10 km.
The practical significance. Typology of surface water bodies (objects) is a crucial and mandatory step in the implementation of the EU WFD. The important point is to determine significantly modified water bodies (potential and candidates).
Keywords: water body substantially modified water body, sub-basin, river, an artificial water body
