Abstract
Every year river cruises are becoming more common, as river corridors have strong potential for recreation and tourism: architectural, historical and natural attractions are concentrated on their banks and in the port cities. Nevertheless major rivers have a huge resource and recreational potential as compared to small and medium-sized rivers, their tourist-recreational “luggage” is remarkably more modest. At the same time historical and national patriotic significance of small rivers sometimes is not inferior to the potential of major rivers. It’s worth noting that it is the medium and small rivers that often bears a recreational load that overpasses similar load on the major rivers. Materials of the article, based on the field researches and processing of an array of relevant publications and monographs, are dedicated to the systematization of ideas about the natural, architectural, historical and cultural resources of the Ukrainian part of the river Desna (Kyiv and Chernihiv region) – the largest left tributary of the river Dnipro. It’s suggested structural logical model of the hierarchy of fundamental world recreational and tourist resources, where banks of rivers, lakes and artificial lakes occupy the third of six levels. We systematized the ideas about the natural, architectural and historical sites that are visible from the board of the ship passing along the river Desna route and it was explained the sequence of its passage. Quantitative and qualitative indicators and characteristics of the tourist tour route on the Desna river is the basis for the comprehensive assessment of recreational and tourist potential of the Desnianskii recreational corridor, appropriate managerial decisions in through the lens of economic and ecological policies and regional (local) planning and design. River cruises and guided tours on the major and medium rivers of Ukraine, with its language, food and leisure particular characteristics, come to be certain alternative to the traditional Ukrainian tourist’s voyages to Egypt, Turkey, the Mediterranean Europe or Thailand.
