AbstractThe former role of tourism in terms of provision of accommodation and food has become outdated. Tourist offer increasingly includes additional activities, such as visits to various tangible and intangible cultural sites, and events that tourists perceive visually. In the contemporary tourism trends, cultural resources of Southeast European countries have become an important factor that maintains the competitiveness under conditions of the growing competition on a world scale. Cultural resources directly affect tourism, but there is also an inverse relationship reflected in the impact of tourism on cultural resources that are becoming an important factor for the choice of tourist destinations. The subject of this paper is to review the contribution of cultural resources to the development of tourist destinations with the help of the analysis of elements of Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index - TTCI.

Cultural routes present the values or elements of cultural heritage. They have been permanently inscribed in the landscape of Poland and Europe, thanks to their potential, in the context of historical memory, protection of tangible and intangible heritage, education, and tourism. They are tools for popularizing and bringing out the ethos and identity of the inhabitants. In the context of the development of cultural tourism and the introduction of new trails to the tourist landscape, it is worth considering the role of the experiences acquired by travelers through overcoming the subsequent stages of the cultural route. Participation in activities prepared by trail organizers plays an important role in enabling visitors and natives to learn about the heritage of a given area or to take root in the traditions of a region or nation. The analysis is based on research concerning the tourist landscape, cultural routes, and the author’s own experiences.


Under modern conditions of the development of the tourist market, the competition between tourist destinations is increasing, therefore, the factor of tourists’ attraction and the investment is brand. Although Kharkiv has all the necessary resources to become a leader in the development of tourism in Ukraine, the city does not have the correct positioning – the brand. The subject of research of the article is the creation of a tourism brand of Kharkiv. The goal is to create a competitive tourism brand for the city domination at the tourist market, attracting visitors and foreign investment. The objectives are to analyse the concepts of "brand", "territorial brand" and "brand of the city", to define the goals, tasks and functions of the city brand, to describe the features of the city brand development, to analyse the existing Kharkiv brands and to create the new brand of the city. General scientific methods are used, such as systematic approach – to determine the terms, goals, tasks and functions of the city brand, structural analysis – to characterize existing city brands, analytics and statistical methods – to analyze the resource availability, literary method used for all aspects of the article. The following results were obtained: on the basis of the analysis, the concepts of "brand", "territorial brand" and "brand of the city", methods of its development were determined and the new competitive brand of the city of Kharkov was developed. Conclusions: the existing brands of the city Kharkiv do not reflect the whole essence of the place and do not make the city as attractive as possible for tourists; a new competitive entertainment-based brand has been created taking into account all the shortcomings of the previous ones and, therefore, it can be concluded that the new brand can be successful with further use.

Cultural routes are a well-established development tool to highlight and promote a region’s cultural and environmental reserve, as well as having a positive impact on a region’s socio-economic development. Underdeveloped or rural areas, which have limited financial and technological resources available, often envision cultural routes as a useful development tool to cater to their needs. However, unless these cultural routes are designed and implemented based on the principles of a circular economy or while respecting the region’s cultural identity and heritage, their impact will not be significant. The region of Aitoloakarnania is the poorest prefecture of Greece. The prefecture served as a case study to demonstrate that the utilization of its cultural and architectural heritage can be based on the identification, documentation, and the reveal of paths of cultural tourism along the region’s main natural features, namely its rivers, lakes, lagoons, and coastline. Τhe density and the representative distribution of the monuments in the area, in combination with the unique natural environment of the prefecture, led to the configuration of a mild design of cultural routes, promoting the revealing of both the cultural and the natural landmarks of Aitoloakarnania. In this framework, certain cultural paths were defined. The first one, along the Acheloos River, includes sites of natural heritage, ancient and medieval monuments (castles, fortifications, monasteries, churches, burial sites, archaeological sites, etc.). The other cultural path regards sites along the Evinos River and Trichonida Lake, which includes similar monuments and traditional settlements. A similar cultural path regards cultural sites and points of interest along the coastal parts of the prefecture, and in particular, a path initiating from the historic city of Nafpaktos and following the route to the west, it reaches the Venetian castle of Plagia, opposite of Lefkada. These cultural paths fuse along their routes sites of natural heritage, sites of archaeological and cultural interest, and sites of historic importance to the region. This amalgamation of different types of cultural sites, integrated into a single cultural entity, provide the means for the local and regional development in a sustainable approach while ensuring and disseminating the region’s brand and history.
