Methodological provisions for assessing economic and environmental damage to the resort and tourism and recreation industries caused by the Russian war against Ukraine

Abstract

Methodological provisions have been developed for assessing the economic and environmental damage caused to the resort and tourism and recreation sectors of Ukraine caused by Russian armed aggression during 2022–2025. The study integrates the provisions of national and international regulatory documents regulating the procedure for determining damage, assessing the ecological and economic consequences of military actions within health and recreation areas and tourist facilities. A comprehensive approach to assessing the economic and environmental damage to the resort and tourism and recreation sectors as a result of the Russian war against Ukraine has been substantiated; the proposed procedure combines a rigorous quantitative basis (RCM, DLM, ESV) with qualitative procedures (expert assessments, scenarios, social surveys), which corresponds to international practices of UNEP, RDNA, SEEA and OECD
