Abstract

Tourism around the world continues to develop dynamically, and tourists become more and more exacting. Each tourist destination is interested in attraction as it is possible bigger number of visitors. The institutions which are engaged in development of tourism in this or that territory ask a question: "What promotes increase in tourist flow in our destination?" One of solutions to this problem is creation of the new tourist recreational facilities having unique qualities and meeting requirements of the arriving guests. In recent years city parks become the major tourist recreational facility. Many consider that city parks are the planted trees and shrubs territories located, as a rule, in the downtown and intended for walks on sidewalks and rest in a shadow of trees on comfortable benches. The majority of the Russian parks look thus. However the city park as a tourist recreational facility has to have not only these qualities to draw attention of city visitors. Involvement of tourists is directly connected with tourist and recreational design of parks. Therefore the problem of competent design of city parks is relevant within increase in appeal of the city.
