Recreational resources and their evaluation. Presentation on the topic "recreational resources of the world" What are recreational resources in geography

In the field of tourism and recreation, recreational resources are important, therefore, in order to determine the possibility of using the territory for recreational purposes, it is necessary to study and evaluate the tourism resources that the territory has.

Recreational resources are all types of any resources that can be used to meet the needs of the population in recreation and tourism. On the basis of recreational resources, industries can be organized, specializing in recreational services.

Recreational resources include:

1) natural resources (climate, water, plants, animals);
2) cultural and historical sights;
3) the economic potential of the region, including infrastructure, human resources.

A recreational resource can be any place that meets two criteria:

1) the place is different from the habitat familiar to man;
2) represented by a combination of two or more naturally different environments;

Recreational resources can be classified in the following order:

1) by origin;
2) by type of recreational use;
3) by the rate of exhaustion;
4) if possible, economic replenishment;
5) possible replacement of some other resources;
6)Possible self-healing and cultivating;

Participation in recreational resources during recreational activities can be different in nature:

1) perceived visually - landscapes, sightseeing objects;
2) use without direct costs;
3) directly consumed in the process of rest;

By origin, natural recreational resources are divided into physical, biological, energy-informational.

The resources of physical recreation are all components of inanimate nature, classified as physical and geographical resources: geological, geomorphological, climatic, hydrological, thermal.

Energy-information recreational resources look like fields of noospheric nature, which serve as factors of the attractiveness of the area or landscape and positively affect the psychophysical (emotional and spiritual) state of a person.

Biological recreational resources mean all components of wildlife, as well as soils, fauna, flowers.

All natural recreational resources - in combination with each other and inextricably linked with each other, the flows of matter and energy, form complex recreational resources of natural-territorial recreational objects;

Against this background, types of natural recreational resources are distinguished: geological, morphological, climatic, etc. Each type of natural recreational resources has signs against which there are types:

Where possible use (direct and indirect).

1) depending on the degree of attractiveness;
2) on health - useful properties;
3) on historical and evolutionary uniqueness;

Tourism resources - a fusion of components of nature, socio - economic conditions and cultural values that act as conditions for meeting the tourist needs of a person. Tourism resources can be divided into groups

1) natural (climate, water resources, relief, caves, flora and fauna, national parks, scenic landscapes).
2) cultural and historical (cultural, historical, archaeological, ethnographic objects;).
3) socio-economic conditions and resources (economic and geographical position of the territory, its transport accessibility, level of economic development, labor resources, etc.).

It can be emphasized that recreational resources are a broader concept than tourism because they include components of nature, socio-economic conditions and cultural values as a condition for meeting the recreational needs of all rights, including medical ones.

Climate plays a leading role in biomedical assessments. The analysis should determine the comfortable conditions determined by climatic and biomedical characteristics, but the concept of "comfort" is relative, because for some types of recreation (for example, skiing), comfortable conditions can be considered typical for the winter season and for the middle band of transitional seasons.

The psychological assessment takes into account, first of all, the aesthetic qualities of the territory - exoticism and uniqueness. Exotic territory is defined as the degree of contrast. Scholars have proposed a number of provisions designed to measure the aesthetic territory. So, the most attractive are: water, land, forest, meadow, hill-plain.

Ecological assessment of natural recreational resources necessary for the economic justification of investments in the reproduction, protection and improvement of the use of recreational resources. This assessment is largely related to the type of resource and its quality, location relative to areas of demand, technology of use, environmental qualities. Communication can be expressed in a system of qualitative and quantitative indicators. Quantitative ones include the availability of recreation and tourism, their consumption of medical resources per person per day, the level of comfort of people in recreational areas, etc.

Efficiency is determined by the ability to relax a combination of different activities, which will require an integrated approach to resource assessment.

There are various methods for assessing natural recreational resources, but the most common and most appropriate analysis of the recreational complex of an area is the assessment of the simplicity of certain parameters of recreational research. When considering natural resources, it is advisable to apply a pro-factor integral assessment of the resource depending on the type of recreation or sport in which this resource is used.

Also, for the development of the tourism industry, accounting standards for the anthropogenic load on natural systems are very important. Thus, a necessary condition for the suitability of natural and recreational resources is the ecological well-being of the environment.

Scientists have long found out that for high labor efficiency, a person needs regular and proper rest. Without this, one should not expect great labor feats from the worker. But you can also relax in different ways: someone just lies on the couch and watches TV, while someone takes out his backpack and goes hiking. In the latter case, the recreational resources of the world, or in other words, the resources for recreation and tourism, are of great importance.

What is recreation?

It is believed that the term "recreation" came to us from Latin: recreation - "recovery". There is such a word in Polish - recreatja, which means "rest" in translation. It should be noted that in the world there is still no single and generally accepted scientific definition of this concept.

It can be said that recreation is the process of restoring the vital forces of a person (physical, moral and mental), which were used up in the course of labor activity. At its core, recreation can be tourist, medical, resort, health, sports, etc. Types are also distinguished by time frame: short-term, long-term (with or without interruption from work), seasonal. Recreation can also be organized and unorganized (the so-called wild recreation).

Basic concepts

Other important concepts can be deduced from the definition of the term "recreation": "tourist and recreational resources" and "recreational activities". The second term means a special type of economic activity aimed at restoring human strength. At the same time, the word "economic" in combination with the word "activity" implies the possibility of generating income.

These and some other related concepts are studied by such sciences as recreationology and recreational geography. Among the scientists of these disciplines, one can meet geographers, biologists, economists, and psychologists, because they were formed at the junction of several fields of knowledge at once. In particular, he studies the features of the distribution of recreational resources and objects throughout the territory of our planet, as well as individual countries. The recreational resources of the world and their study are also within the competence of this science. They will be discussed further.

Recreational World Resources

They began to worry scientists and researchers around the middle of the twentieth century. It was then that the first serious scientific developments in this area began to appear.

The recreational resources of the world are a complex of recreational objects (created by nature or man) that are suitable for the development of recreational activities on their basis.

What can be a recreational object? Yes, anything, as long as the object has a recreational effect. It can be a waterfall, a mountain peak, a medical sanatorium, a city park, a museum or an old fortress.

Key features of these resources include:

attractiveness;
geographic availability;
significance;
potential stock;
method of use and others.

Classification

The recreational resources of the world still do not have a unified classification. Each of the researchers has their own view on this issue. Nevertheless, the following types of recreational resources can be distinguished:

Recreational and medical (treatment).
Recreational and health-improving (treatment, rehabilitation and resort rest).
Recreational and sports (active recreation and tourism).
Recreational and educational (excursions, cruises and travel).

This classification seems to be the most successful and understandable. Although there are many others, according to which the world's recreational resources are divided into:

natural (created by nature);
natural-anthropogenic (created by nature and modified by man);
historical and cultural (man-made);
infrastructural;
unconventional.

The last group is very interesting, which combines the resources necessary for the development of unusual or extreme ones. These can be ancient cemeteries, dilapidated castles, underground catacombs, etc.

Recreational and medical resources of the world

They are designed to organize, first of all, the treatment of a person. It can be both a complex therapy of the whole organism, and individual organs and systems.

Recreational and medical resources of the world include the following objects:

healing mud;
mountain resorts;
sea coasts;
salt lakes, etc.

Recreational and health-improving resources of the world

This group includes all resources on the basis of which treatment can be carried out, as well as the improvement of the body (for example, after major operations). Such resources include resorts and resort areas (sea, mountain, ski, forest, etc.).

Among the most popular resort areas in the world are the following:

Hawaiian Islands;
Seychelles;
Canary Islands;
the island of Bali;
the island of Cuba;
(France);
Golden Sands (Bulgaria), etc.

Recreational-sports and recreational-cognitive resources

The majestic mountain systems (Alps, Cordillera, Himalayas, Caucasus, Carpathians) attract a huge number of active tourists and adventurers. After all, there are all the necessary recreational and sports resources. You can go on a mountain hike or conquer one of the peaks. You can organize an extreme descent along a mountain river or go rock climbing. The mountains have a wide range of diverse recreational resources. There are also a huge number of ski resorts.

Recreational and educational resources include many different objects: architectural, historical and cultural. It can be fortresses, palace complexes, museums and even entire cities. Thousands of tourists annually visit countries such as France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Austria, Switzerland and others.

The most famous museum in the world is, of course, the Louvre, which contains the richest collections of exhibits. Among them you can see ancient Assyrian bas-reliefs and Egyptian paintings.

One of the largest and most elegant palace complexes in the world is Peterhof, located near St. Petersburg. A large number of tourists go to India to see the wonder of world architecture - or to Egypt to see with their own eyes the famous Egyptian pyramids, or to Croatia to wander through the narrow streets of medieval Dubrovnik.

Recreational and tourist potential of Russia

The recreational resources of Russia are very rich and varied. Thus, the Black Sea, Azov, Baltic coasts, as well as the Altai Mountains have a huge potential for the development of resort tourism and therapeutic recreation.

The historical, cultural and educational recreational resources of Russia are also widely represented. In this regard, such regions of the country as the North-West, the North Caucasus, the Kaliningrad region, as well as the cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kostroma, Tver, Kazan have the greatest potential. Recreation can also be successfully developed in Kamchatka, Sakhalin Island and Lake Baikal.

Finally

Thus, the recreational resources of the world are very diverse and rich. These are ancient cities, amazing architectural structures, high mountains and rapid waterfalls, museums and castles covered in legends.

"Recreational resources and their classification"

Introduction

In the development of tourism and recreation, the role of recreational resources is great. Therefore, in order to determine the possibilities of using any territory for recreational purposes, it is necessary to study and evaluate the recreational and tourist resources that the territory possesses.

Under recreational resources understands the components of the natural environment and phenomena of a sociocultural nature, which, due to certain properties (uniqueness, originality, aesthetic appeal, therapeutic significance), can be used to organize various types and forms of recreational activities. Recreational resources are characterized by contrast with the habitual human environment and a combination of various natural and cultural environments. Almost any place that meets two criteria is recognized as recreational resources:

1) the place is different from the habitat familiar to man;

2) represented by a combination of two or more naturally different environments;

Classification of recreational resources

Recreational resources can be classified as follows:

1) by origin;

2) by types of recreational use;

3) by the rate of exhaustion;

4) if possible, economic replenishment;

5) if possible, replacing some resources with others;

6) if possible self-healing and cultivation;

The involvement of recreational resources in the process of recreational activities can be different in nature:

1) perceived visually - landscapes, sightseeing objects;

2) use without direct expenditure;

3) directly spent in the process of recreation;

By origin, natural recreational resources are divided into physical, biological, energy-informational.

Physical recreational resources are all components of inanimate nature classified as physical and geographical resources: geological, geomorphological, climatic, hydrological, thermal.

Energy-informational recreational resources are fields of noospheric nature that serve as factors of the attractiveness of the area or landscape and positively affect the psychophysical (emotional and spiritual) state of a person. This type of resource is the basis for the development of cultural and religious tourism.

Biological recreational resources are understood as all components of wildlife, including soil, faunistic, and floristic.

All natural recreational resources - physical, biological, energy-informational are united and inextricably linked by the flows of matter and energy, form complex recreational resources of natural-territorial recreational complexes;

On this basis, the types of natural recreational resources are identified: geological, morphological, climatic, etc. Each type of natural recreational resources has its own characteristics, inherent only to them, on the basis of which the types are distinguished:

1) possible use (direct and indirect).

2) according to the degree of attractiveness;

3) according to medical and health-improving properties;

4) by historical and evolutionary uniqueness;

5) according to environmental criteria.

Recreational resources are largely derived from the recreational needs of the population, which, in turn, are determined by the tasks of the socio-cultural development of the territory. Thus, the main reason and factor for the transformation of the totality of certain properties of the territory into recreational resources is the need for socio-cultural development of the territory.

Tourism resources are understood as combinations of components of nature, socio-economic conditions and cultural values that act as conditions for satisfying human tourism needs. Tourism resources can be divided into the following groups:

1) natural - climate, water resources, relief, caves, flora and fauna, national parks, picturesque landscapes;

2) cultural-historical - cultural, historical, archaeological, ethnographic objects;

3) socio-economic conditions and resources - the economic and geographical position of the territory, its transport accessibility, the level of economic development, labor resources, etc.

It should be noted that recreational resources are a broader concept than tourist resources, since they include components of nature, socio-economic conditions and cultural values as a condition for satisfying all recreational human needs, including medical ones.

To identify the recreational opportunities of the territory, it is important to conduct a recreational assessment of natural resources; assessment is a reflection of the relationship between a person (subject) and elements of the environment or the environment as a whole. There are three main assessments of natural resources in science: medical-biological, psychological-aesthetic, technological.

Climate plays a leading role in biomedical assessments. In the analysis, it is necessary to identify the comfort of the conditions, which is determined by climatic and biomedical characteristics, but the concept of "comfort" is relative, because for some types of recreation (for example, ski trips), conditions typical for the winter period of the middle zone and for the transitional seasons of the northern territories can be considered comfortable.

The psychological assessment takes into account, first of all, the aesthetic qualities of the territory - exoticism and uniqueness. The exoticism of the territory is defined as the degree of contrast between the place of rest in relation to the permanent place of residence, and the uniqueness - as the degree of occurrence or uniqueness of objects and phenomena. Scientists have proposed a number of provisions for measuring the aesthetic properties of the territory. So, the most attractive landscapes are the border ones: water-land, forest-glade, hill-plain.

Technological assessment reflects the interaction of man and the natural environment through the "technology" of recreational activities and technology. Firstly, the possibilities for a certain type of recreation are evaluated, and, secondly, the possibilities of engineering and construction development of the territory.

An economic assessment of natural recreational resources is necessary for the economic justification of investments in the reproduction, protection and improvement of the use of recreational resources. This assessment is closely related to the type of resource, its quality, location relative to areas of demand, technology of use, environmental qualities. Communication can be expressed by a system of qualitative and quantitative indicators. Quantitative ones include the availability of places of recreation and tourism, their carrying capacity, the consumption of medical resources per person per day, the concentration of people in recreational areas, etc. Qualitative indicators take into account the attractiveness of the tourist site, landscape, comfort level, etc.

A particular difficulty in evaluating recreational resources lies in the fact that they must be considered both from the position of recreation organizers and from the position of vacationers. The effectiveness of recreation is determined by the possibility of combining different types of activities, which implies the need for an integrated approach to assessing resources. When evaluating resource combinations, it is important to identify the weight and significance of individual components that make up the overall value of the natural complex.

There are various methods for assessing natural recreational resources, but the most common and most appropriate for a comprehensive recreational analysis of the territory is the assessment of the degree of favorableness of certain parameters for recreational research. When considering natural resources, it is advisable to apply a factor-integral assessment of the resource, depending on the type of recreational activity in which this resource is used.

Also, for the development of the tourism industry, it is of great importance to take into account the norms of the anthropogenic load on natural complexes, since the illiterate exploitation of natural resources adversely affects the ecological state of natural complexes. Thus, a prerequisite for the suitability of natural recreational resources is the ecological well-being of the natural environment.

Varieties of natural recreational resources

Among the recreational and tourism resources, the role and importance of natural recreational resources is especially great. They are divided into:

1) climatic;

2) geomorphological;

3) hydrological;

4) hydromineral;

5) soil and vegetable;

6) faunistic.

A special place among them is occupied by landscape and natural resources, which are complex recreational resources.

Let's consider separate types of natural recreational resources.

Climatic recreational resources.

Climatic recreational resources are meteorological elements or their combinations that have medical and biological properties and are used in the recreation process.

This type of recreational resources is fundamental. Certain types of climate contribute to an effective increase in the physical and spiritual strength of a person, both by themselves and in combination with other natural resources that can be classified as recreational in the region. In this sense, climatic recreational resources can have a regional aspect.

The impact of climate on the human body is called bioclimate. In accordance with this, bioclimatic parameters differ from ordinary meteorological characteristics, since they represent a complex effect of the meteorological characteristics of air masses on the human body: temperature, wind speed, humidity, pressure.

To assess the bioclimate, all bioclimatic parameters are considered according to the degree of their favorable effect on the human body. At the same time, unfavorable factors that have an increased load on the adaptive systems of the human body are called annoying. Meteorological conditions, leading to less pronounced tension of adaptive mechanisms in the human body, are called training. In general, they are relatively favorable, and for most people who do not suffer from serious illnesses, they are useful conditions that have a training effect. Sparing climatic conditions are favorable for all people without exception, including for weakened patients who are on medical rest in a sanatorium or resort.

Recreation - restoration of the physical and spiritual forces of a person spent in the process of life, increasing his health and working capacity
Recreational resources are natural and anthropogenic objects that have such properties as uniqueness, historical or artistic value, aesthetic appeal, health significance.

According to the peculiarities of origin, recreational resources can be divided into two subtypes:

Natural and recreational;
anthropogenic and recreational.

Natural and recreational resources include sea coasts, banks of rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, mineral water outlets, therapeutic mud, and favorable climatic conditions.
Recreational resources of anthropogenic origin are also called cultural and historical resources. Such objects include, for example, the Moscow Kremlin, Westminster Abbey in London, the Versailles palace and park complex near Paris, the Taj Mahal in India, the Statue of Liberty in New York.

According to the nature of use, they are divided into 4 main types:
recreational and medical (treatment with mineral waters);
recreational and health-improving (swimming and beach areas);
recreational and sports (mountain and ski resorts);
recreational and educational (historical monuments, scientific
tourism, business tourism, religious pilgrimage).

Recreational resources are the basis of recreation and tourism. At the end of 2004, the total number of World Heritage sites was 730, including 535 objects were classified as cultural, 144 - natural and 23 - cultural and natural, they are located in 125 countries of the world.

International tourism makes a significant contribution to the development of the world economy; revenues from this area of activity already exceed 500 billion dollars. In many countries, tourism acts as a catalyst for economic development in the region. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism annually is the initiator of the production of goods and services worth more than 4 trillion. dollars, or 11% of world consumer spending, 5% of all tax revenues and a third of world trade in services, this is 3rd place after the export of oil and cars. The tourism industry is the largest employer. It provides employment for every tenth worker in the world (127 million people). According to WTO forecasts, the 21st century will be the century of tourism.

Today at our lesson there are representatives of various travel companies who gladly agreed to answer your questions about the organization of recreation and treatment.

? Question to the correspondent of the magazine "Relax"
What factors influence the development of international tourism?
Answer:
availability of recreational resources;
infrastructure development;
geographical position of the country;
socio-economic factors.

? Question to the manager of the travel agency "Vokrug Sveta"
What can you say about the dynamics of international tourism?
Consider the dynamics of international tourism from 1950 to 2005. In 1950 the number of foreign tourists was 25 million people, 1960 - 80 million people, 1970 - 220 million people, 1980 - 285 million people, 1990 - 510 million people.
2004 - 528 million people
2004 - 766 million people,
2005 - 808 million people

(Statistics and chart displayed)

? Please tell us about the distribution of tourism in the main regions of the world
Answer: The distribution of tourism by major regions is as follows:
Europe - 60%, Asia - 15%, North America - 15%, America - 6%, Africa - 2%, Australia - 2%

(Statistics and map chart are displayed)

? Name the countries leading in the reception of tourists
Answer: The following countries are the leaders in the field of international tourism: France - 1st place, Spain - 2nd place, USA - 3rd place, Italy - 4th place, China - 5th place.

We bring to your attention a video from the series "Wonders of the World - the Moscow Kremlin"

? Representative of the travel agency "Russia"
Could you tell us, please, how is the situation with tourism in Russia?
Answer: (analysis of work for 2005): The past year 2005 brought many surprises to the Russian tourism industry - both pleasant and unpleasant. The situation that has developed in the market for the entry of tourists cannot be called otherwise than critical. The number of foreign citizens coming to Russia for the purpose of sightseeing and educational recreation amounted to 2.38 million people, which is almost 17% less than in 2004. Negative dynamics was demonstrated by almost all directions without exception. The drop in the number of Polish tourists (-62%) was especially noticeable. Interest in Russia has also been lost by citizens of Western European countries - the Swiss, Norwegians, French, Greeks, Danes, and also the Japanese.
The flow of tourists from Spain, Belgium, Israel has increased. And Sweden became the leader in terms of growth dynamics. The increase in the number of guests from the UK, Turkey, Mongolia and Australia is noteworthy.
There are also problems in the outbound tourism sector - almost 6.8 million Russian citizens went abroad for tourism purposes last year. This is 3.5% more than in 2004. But in comparison with 2003-2004, when this indicator increased by 10-15%, it is difficult to call this dynamics good.
Noteworthy is the sharp increase in the number of tourists from Russia to China, Italy, Egypt, Spain, France, Greece, Bulgaria, Lithuania, India, Serbia and Montenegro (94.7%), Korea. The departure of our citizens to Poland, Thailand, and Malta has noticeably decreased.

? Representative of the travel company "Health";
- What resorts would you recommend to the residents of our country for recovery
Answer: Therapeutic recreation is becoming more and more popular among Russian travelers. Many clients believe that it is no longer fashionable to simply go on a tour abroad, tours in which rest is combined with medical and recreational procedures are considered to be in demand and prestigious. The resorts of Eastern Europe are the most popular holiday destination for Russian tourists. Practically all tour operators operating in this market segment predict an increase in client demand for wellness programs in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria in the 2006 season.
For example, the office of the Polish representative office expects that the number of Russians traveling to the country for medical purposes will grow by about 12% this year, last year there were 32,000 of our compatriots here. It should be noted that on a global scale, 8% of all those wishing to improve their health visit Polish health resorts. The health resorts of Hungary are very popular, the most popular destinations for Russian tourists are Budapest and Lake Heviz.
Favorable price-quality ratio attracts more and more tourists to the resorts of Bulgaria. Today, here you can get almost all medical, health and beauty services that are offered in Western Europe, but at lower prices. Now tourists from our country are in third place in terms of the number of vacationers in the resorts of Bulgaria. The resorts of Slovakia and the Czech Republic have a good medical base. If the Czech Karlovy Vary is famous for its drinking water and social life, then in Slovakia there are many thermal mineral springs with water for external use.

In the new season, the tour operator in Israel presents its new destination - Jordan. The company offers a wide range of offers from treatment at the Dead Sea and holidays in Aqaba to a variety of excursion programs around the country. In January, an introductory tour of the resorts of the French Alps was made. Israeli resorts are in great demand: in 2004 Israel was visited by 1.5 million people, in 2005 - 2 million tourist arrivals. The positive dynamics was largely provided by the guests from Russia. The growth rate of tourist flow to Israel has grown over the past year by 25% and this is not the limit.

? Representative of the travel company "Priroda"
What natural objects are most in demand among the population of the Earth?
Answer: The creations of human hands are beautiful, but nothing can strike our imagination like the beauties of nature. Nature! Here is the main architect of the planet!
only she can create grandiose and majestic waterfalls,
fire-breathing mountains, emerald forests.

We invite you to watch the video "Wonders of Nature - the Great Waterfalls of the World".

? Representative of the travel company "Siberia":
What types of recreation do Siberians prefer?
Answer: Analysis of departures of NSO residents and slide advertising of Egypt

? Representative of the travel agency "Tourism and Sport"
What regions of the world can you offer for sports tourism?
Answer: Two countries compete here - Austria and Andorra. Ski tours in Andorra enjoyed great success last season, as this was due to higher prices and entry rules to this country. The most popular region of Andorra among Russians is still the capital of Andorra la Vella. This year, about 40% of tourists went here.
In the future, the Caucasus will be of great importance - the Krasnaya Polyana region, where there are all conditions for sports tourism. This resort has been nominated to host the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Assessment of recreational resources of the world:
- How can you evaluate the recreational resources of the world?
- Is it possible to say that recreational resources are unlimited?
- Can the territory of the NSO have recreational value?

Teacher:
So, the main purpose of recreational resources is to maintain physical strength, emotional mood of a person, maintain health and spiritual enrichment. As tourists enter the last protected corners of the globe, the fate of the nature of our planet is of great concern.
Recreational resources, like any other resources, require rational use. In order to expand the recreational resources of the world, it is planned to carry out the following activities:
- creation of new green zones-reserves, national parks;
- development of modern infrastructure;
- development of the tourism industry on the basis of careful attitude to natural and cultural-historical sights.

During the lesson, students mark the areas of world tourism on the contour map.
Homework: work on contour maps, a message or presentation of one of the recreational areas of the world.

Recreational resources of the world. Recreational refers to natural conditions, resources and public facilities.

Which can be used for recreation, tourism and healthcare.

Recreational resources are divided into natural-recreational and cultural-historical. Natural and recreational include sea and lake coasts, mountainous areas, territories with a comfortable temperature regime, they are used for such types of tourism: beach (Cote d'Azur of France, Italian Riviera, Golden Sands of Bulgaria, islands of the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas, Oceania), winter ( Alps, Scandinavian mountains, Carpathians, Pyrenees, Cordillera), ecological (visiting national parks and undeveloped territories).

Resources of the World Ocean. Since the second half of the XX century. Considerable attention is paid to the development of the resources of the World Ocean. The ocean is rich in biological, mineral and energy resources. More than 70 chemical elements are dissolved in sea water, for which it is called "liquid ore". Using the latest technology, some of them are already being removed from the water, in particular bromine, iodine, magnesium, table salt, etc.

The biological resources of the oceans are marine organisms that humans use. There are 180,000 animal species and 20,000 plant species in the Ocean. Fish, marine invertebrates (oysters, crabs), marine mammals (whales, walruses, seals) and seaweeds are of economic importance. So far, they provide the food needs of mankind by only 2%. The shelf zone is the most productive.

The mineral resources of the World Ocean are very diverse. Now oil, natural gas, coal, iron ores, diamonds, gold, amber, etc. are being mined on the ocean shelf. The development of the ocean floor has begun. Large reserves of iron-manganese raw materials have been found here, significantly exceeding its reserves on land. In addition to the main components, ocean deposits contain more than 20 useful elements: nickel, cobalt, copper, titanium, molybdenum, etc. Technologies for the extraction of iron-manganese ores from the ocean floor have already been developed in the USA, Japan, Germany and other countries.

The energy resources of the oceans are inexhaustible and diverse. Tidal energy is already being used in France, CILLA, Russia, Japan. A significant reserve is the energy of waves, sea currents, water temperature differences.

In our time, there is a problem of economical use of the wealth of the oceans, the protection of its resources. The world community is especially concerned about the oil pollution of the ocean. After all, only 1 g of oil is enough to destroy life in 1 m3 of water. To preserve the nature of the World Ocean, international agreements are being concluded on the protection of waters from pollution, rules for the use of biological resources, and a ban on testing weapons of mass destruction in the Ocean. Great hopes are placed on the use of truly inexhaustible resources in the future: the energy of the Sun, wind, the internal heat of the Earth, space.
