The articles aims to substantiate the socio-economic, environmental, historical and cultural role played by green tourism and its contribution to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals based on current innovative trends and capabilities of tourism in the face of challenges posed by the ongoing crisis in global economy caused by the latest pandemic. The objectives of the research were to detail the theoretical, methodological and applied approaches to the development of green tourism, which is a market sector providing travel services. The definition of green tourism has been made more profound through connecting it with the Sustainable Development Goals, which is rather logical. The motivating factors for the development of green tourism have been analyzed taking into account the model of multifunctionality in agriculture and its importance in rural development policy. The nature of changes in the green tourism sector has been identified with respect to the peculiarities of the current global situation, when a pandemic is restraining the world tourism intensity, on the one hand, and is stimulating local tourism, on the other. It is worth adding that local tourism is mostly green and focused on the conservation of the environmental and natural resources, as well as sustainment of mostly rural areas. The research carried out shows that green tourism can become a driving force for economic growth in rural areas, a motivator for employment, a factor in preserving rural culture and traditions in a particular area. At the same time, the results of the research prove the existence of a link between green tourism and national economic, environmental, socio-cultural, intellectual, energy security due to the most typical development priorities of such tourism. On analyzing the experience of the countries that suffered the pandemic most, we have found some prospects for green tourism development. It is a new system of partnership between the state, business and civil society which can become an additional incentive to preserve the potential of green tourism. Thus, strategic guidelines for green tourism development based on institutional priorities, with the current economic crisis challenges in mind, have been designed.

‘Green tourism’ is defined as tourism that enhances local cultural elements, which are operating under the control of local communities, providing employment and maintaining economic benefits within the local communities. In fact, many times the above definition is poorly utilized, since there are times when the economic benefits dim from local communities. Tourism industry uses the term as a message to tourists on energy saving, avoiding coastal pollution and so on. Sometimes, the same tourist businesses are accused of using the term or labelling ‘green’ primarily for marketing purposes. Although it is a fact that tourism industry is starting to respond to the changing values of tourists regarding environmental issues, however, the purpose of this research is to infer if there is a future for sustainable tourism development concerning the enterprises that provide sport tourism in Greece.

The article deals with the dynamics of the number of tourists in Vinnytsia region. After analyzing the statistics of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the Main Department of Statistics in Vinnytsia Region for 2004-2017, it has been shown that the number of Vinnytsia residents who traveled abroad in 2017 compared to 2004 increased by 14.6 times, and the number of domestic tourists decreased three times. The main reasons for the decline of domestic tourists are the financial crisis of 2007-2009, the Revolution of the Maidan in 2013-2014, terrorist acts and political and economic instability in Ukraine, aswell as the sharp increase in utilities bills in Ukraine. It is shown that the correlation between the number of tourists in Vinnytsia region, moving abroad (variable ) and income of the family (variabl ). For the data for 2004-2017, it can be described by a nonlinear model: For such a non-linear correlation, the correlation coefficient , means that when increasing family income by 1% compared with 2017, the number of tourists traveling abroad would increase by about 0, 735%. Green tourism is one of the factors of improvement of tourism industry in the region, rise of economic and social level of living in rural areas, in particular, creating new jobs, increasing incomes, preserving and enriching the cultural heritage, and advance in the infrastructure of the village. By the integral indicator of the development of rural green tourism that changes within the limits , ranking and grouping of the regions of Ukraine has been carried out according to three levels of development: high level ( , type of region's leaders), average level ( , region type average) and low level ( , type of region outsiders). According to the integral indicator of green tourism development in Vinnytsia region , it is classified as an average. Proposals for improvement of indicators of green tourism development in our region: 1) development of partnership relations between local self-government bodies, non-governmental organizations and agricultural enterprises; 2) formation of potential and stimulation of actual demand for rural tourism services; 3) development of innovative projects in the field of rural tourism development. Today, about 30 rural homesteads provide green tourism services. Of these, 2 farms have the third (the highest) category of the categorization system of the village bed base "Ukrainian hospitality estate" and 7 estates have a basic category. Four of the farmsteads of the Yampil district include: "The Magic Corner", "The Manor at Svetlana", "The Art Ladder", "The Ruffle" and one of the manor houses of Mohyliv-Podilsky: "The Comfort," are among the 100 best farmsteads of green tourism in Ukraine. A cozy rest in the picturesque Busha can be combined with the acquaintance wiht the two historical and cultural reserves "Historical Busha" and the geological "Haydamak Yar", were the history of Trypillian culture is presented. There workshops on oil painting, pysanka painting and manufacturing of motanka-dolls are offered. In order to improve the development of green tourism in Vinnitsa region it is necessary: - to use the experience of European countries in organizing green tourism; - to conduct scientific research on development of green tourism; - to develop innovative projects in the field of green tourism development; - to stimulate demand for green tourism services; - to develop partnership relations between owners of homesteads and authorities; - to improve the quality of services; - to improve transport links and the quality of roads.

Tourism eco-efficiency is an important indicator that has often been applied to measure the quality of green tourism development. This paper takes the 31 provinces of China as examples to analyze regional tourism eco-efficiency. By constructing multiple input and output indicator systems for regional tourism, we estimated the eco-efficiency of 31 provinces in 1997–2016 using an undesirable output model of a slack-based model (undesirable-SBM) for data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, we analyzed the spatial–temporal evolutionary trends and patterns of the eco-efficiency over 20 years by using the Hot Spot Model and Spatial Center of Gravity Model. Finally, we explored the driving forces internal and external to the tourism eco-economic system using the Panel Tobit Regression Model and Geodetector Model, respectively. The results show that: In the last 20 years, the tourism eco-efficiency of provinces in China declined, though tourism has experienced rapid but extensive development. The western regions of China, which have better eco-environmental conditions, and the southeastern coastal regions, which have higher levels of economic development, have higher tourism eco-efficiency. Regions with lower tourism eco-efficiency show diffusion trends, while regions with higher tourism eco-efficiency are characterized by a lack of obvious space spillover effects. Technology is the core driving force of regional tourism eco-efficiency, while traffic conditions and social civilization levels are key external influence factors leading to improvement of tourism eco-efficiency. The research results reveal the great significance of laws for sustainable green tourism development with different economic levels in the different regions. Our work could provide a reference for similar countries and regions in the world with the rapid growth of tourism or obvious spatial differentiation in socioeconomic development.
