Abstract

The issues of recreational potential of ecological tourism are becoming more and more popular due to the effect of nature tourism on human well-being. The aim of nature trip is to improve the emotional status and relieve psychological stress. The mechanisms of attracting urban population to nature and a health-improving effect of the natural environment are proved at the genetic level and discussed in modern medical studies. People strive for communication with nature to compensate for difficulties of their city life or to ‘charge’ themselves with the energy of nature. Therefore, ecological tourism consists of weekend hiking tours, green tourism, etc. The experimental group included 25 persons, who took part in the so-called ecological tour. The study proved a positive effect of ecological tourism on the psychological and emotional status of people. It means that this approach can be used for a detailed study in this field. Similar studies can be conducted in different geographical, ecological, climatic, and natural regions.
