The aim of this paper is to show that rural tourism as an instrument of sustainable development can be a component of village revitalization. Rural tourism is a new term in the post-modern society which, based on the concept of sustainable development, should lead to optimal use of local natural and human resources and capacities. The concept of rural tourism is based on programme documents both in the world and in our country. This paper is focused on the research of rural tourism in the villages around Valjevo. The results of this study have shown that sustainable rural tourism in our country is characterized by European rural patterns: local history, local tradition, cultural patterns, traditional economy, mainly pristine, healthy nature, peace and serenity - authentic rural identity, a specific rural sense of place. The word ?peasant? can be a synonym for sustainability i.e. a paradigm for sustainable rural development and sustainable rural tourism.

The article discusses the meanings of life and value priorities of the post- Soviet society. The author argues that, at present, there are symptoms of a global ideological crisis in the world, that the West does not have its own vision of where and how to move on and has no understanding of the future. Unfortunately, most of the post-Soviet countries do not have such vision as well. In these conditions, there are mistrust, confusion, paradoxical manifestation of human consciousness. The main meanings that determine our life-world are: the desire of citizens for social justice and social security, the desire to figure out and understand the basic values of modern society, how honestly and equally the authorities act toward their fellow citizens, and to what extent they reflect their interests. The meanings of life, which are the answers to the challenges of the time, are embodied in the cultural code of each nation, state. The growth points of new values, which will become the basis for the future sustainable development of a new civilization, have yet to be discovered in the systemic transformative changes of the culture. In this process, the emergence of a new system of values that governs human life is inevitable. However, modern technology brings new troubles to humans. It has provided wide opportunities for informational violence and public consciousness manipulation. Nowadays, the scenario that is implemented in Western consumer societies claims to be the dominant scenario. Meanwhile, today there is no country in the world that is a role model, there is no ideal that others would like to borrow. Most post-Soviet states failed to advance their societies to more decent levels of economic development, to meet the challenges of the modern information age, and to provide the population with new high living standards. Therefore, in conditions of growing confrontation, we should realistically understand the world and be ready to implement changes that will ensure sustainable development of the state and society without losing our national identity.

The Village

The strategic planning of rural development is focused on both economic growth and sustainable development. Sustainable rural development is essential for conserving and improving resources, while economic growth contributes to a better standard of living. The aim of the research is to determine, using the participatory rural appraisal (PRA) methodology on the example of the village of Zlakusa, the economic activities developed in the village, the importance of rural tourism, and the scope of sustainable development taken into account in rural development. The results of the research show that the success of the rural community depends on: diversification of economic activities, which is accompanied by cohesion of the population through association and organization; organized activities aimed at local or republican authorities; activation of human and social capital; and initiating activities involving marginalized groups. Educating the population outside formal education improves the sustainable and economic development of the village and enables rural tourism to become an important part of economic activities and a channel for the commercialization of natural and cultural contents.

The article is devoted to the most popular segment of the global cooperative sector – consumer cooperation. Based on the definition of specific features of this type of cooperation, a special dynamism and adaptability of consumer associations in solving vital social problems and implementing the UN sustainable development goals is shown. The author asserts that the significant growth rates of the world consumer cooperation are determined by the lack of conditionality of its development by the formation of material prerequisites and to a greater extent depend on the organization of information and propaganda work to promote cooperative "self-help". Analysis of world experience has shown that an important factor in the growth of the cooperative movement is the exchange of practices between cooperative organizations on the planet. Being a public organization by nature, consumer cooperation is an essential part of civil society. The analysis and dissemination of international experience in consumer cooperation play a significant role in the activation of civil initiative in self-organization.

Topicality. The urgency of developing �green� tourism in Kherson region is growing, since, on the one hand, the region has a high tourism and recreation potential, which is still used inefficiently, and on the other hand, the development of tourism is a crucial factor for the sustainable development of the region and the increase of its competitiveness in the world market. Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to develop theoretical principles and practical and applied proposals that should substantiate the feasibility of green tourism development in Ukraine and its regions, and study the problems that arise during the organization of �green� tourism, taking into consideration international experience in this field. Research results. �Green� economy is a challenge to inefficient use of resources. The use of the principles of "green" economy will not only allow achieving sustainable development of the regions and the country, but also ensure social justice as well as the use of natural competitive advantages to enter and consolidate in foreign markets. According to UNEP, among the priority areas of development are tourism activities. "Green" / rural tourism is the type of entrepreneurial activity in providing comprehensive tourist services in rural areas, using the private property of rural residents, without significant environmental impact on the environment. "Green" tourism has the following varieties: rural tourism, recreational tourism, ecotourism. The experience of European countries has shown that with proper government support and coordination of efforts of the state and local communities, �green� tourism can be a highly profitable activity. The effect of "green" tourism is complex; it is expressed through the economic, social and environmental component. The article shows that Ukraine and its regions have a huge tourist potential. In recent years, "green" tourism has been successfully developing and is popular among the population of the country. The format and scope of "green" tourism in Ukraine have their own national characteristics: it is mainly a family business; the average "green" holiday duration is from 1 to 2 days, which allows it to claim its own competitive position in the international market. At the same time, a number of shortcomings in the organization of "green" business have been identified. Conclusion. Kherson Region has a number of advantages, the full use of which is able to ensure sustainable economic development, the competitiveness of the region and the presence in the world market of tourist services. There are a number of factors that negatively affect the state of the tourism industry: low level of tourist infrastructure, insufficient development of the regulatory framework, economic and political instability, a limited range of tourist services offered, no concept of tourism development in the region as a promising tourist destination, imperfect advertising of regional tourist centers, etc. To overcome these problems it is expedient to use a cluster approach to the organization of "green" tourism.
