Abstract. This study considers geological tourism as a means of exploring the geological resources of a certain territory. An example of the arrangement of a local abandoned quarry is presented, taking into account the recreational and tourist needs of the city’s residents. The importance of geological tourism as a destination that provides tourists with the opportunity to explore the environment in synergy with culture and history will grow every year. In 2022, the share of international trips related to the environment was 25%. Geological tourism often encourages travelers to delve into the cultural heritage and traditions of little-visited regions. There are two approaches to studying this area of tourism: geological and geographical. It is the latter that provides a comprehensive description of the territory, not only through the prism of its geological significance but also an understanding of the impact of the environment on the way of life of local residents. For example, in areas where volcanoes are common, understanding their origin and the consequences of their activity has a great impact on the development of agriculture and the well-being of the population. In this article, geological tourism goes beyond the simple assessment of geological sites. After all, modern tourists who choose nature-oriented forms of leisure still want a combination of services and amenities, even in the countryside. Accordingly, the project, within the Korostyshiv quarry, combines geological research with recreational opportunities.
