economic system of regional development of Ukraine during the post–quarantine period.
The purpose of this article is to consider the problems of the tourism market in modern conditions,
the crown of the viral period, with an emphasis on the adaptation of the mechanism of tourist services,

inclusive tourists by attracting them to tourism activities), comparison (statistical data on the situation
in the tourism market in terms of providing services for inclusive tourists).
Results of the work – difficult questions are raised concerning the realities of modern life of
people in the framework of the tourism sector of Ukraine, with its problems, challenges and practical
solutions. As part of the modern life of mankind, corrected by the latest outbreak of the global
pandemic COVID–19, a number of problems of economic, political, social, economic, educational
and general human nature have arisen, the solution of which requires a significant rethinking of the
existing situation in society and the provision of proposals for a new format for future life humanity
and, in particular, in Ukraine. Particular attention in this situation is attracted by people with inclusion
(pensioners, representatives of socially unprotected segments of the population, people with the
«war syndrome», etc.), among whom the most unadapted link of society to the modern environment
are persons with disabilities of various nosologies. The mechanism of complex socialization of this
category of people has not only medical and rehabilitation areas of assistance, but also a financial
component in the form of social assistance, subsidies, preferential loans, and the like. The mechanism
of complex socialization of this category of people has not only medical and rehabilitation areas of
assistance, but also a financial component in the form of social assistance, subsidies, preferential
loans, and the like. The most universal in terms of socialization of people with inclusion is tourism, as a
field related to economics, sociology, medicine, psychology, pedagogy and other industries. Therefore,
the mechanism for creating a comfortable tourist environment for categories of inclusive tourists will поhelp
solve the issue of their socialization, and state financial support, in the form of effective nationwide
programs, will allow to freely attract inclusive tourists to the full life of Ukrainian society. Undoubtedly,
such programs make sense only in the presence of a stable economy of the country and in a situation
of overcoming the crisis associated with the COVID–19 pandemic.
