Abstract

The study expands the possibilities of developing health tourism and terrain cure in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia. There is a growing demand for domestic tourism, but the most famous tourist destinations are full. In this case, the development of other tourist destinations is relevant. Research into the landscape and climatic potential of the Susunai Ridge in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk for the creation of the “Vos’merka” terrain cure route revealed an unusual combination of recreational landscape elements (2.48 points) with favourable mountain orography (2.83 points) and rich flora, valuable phytorecourses (2.5 points), high landscape and aesthetic quality of natural views (2 points), moderate bioclimatic mode of the area in terms of loads (2.16 points), unique on purity of the surface atmosphere and environmental ecological conditions (2.6 points), which integratively provide prospects for the development of summer and winter types of health tourism. When comparing heterogeneous indices of bioclimate and recreational landscape, we applied the method of scoring qualitative attributes used in resortology and recreational geography.
