            Course content
        
        
            The educational discipline consists of two parts. The first one is devoted to the review of the diversity of the world's geotourist attractions both in terms of genesis and forms of organization of their space; functioning of the World and European Network of Geoparks, as well as the analysis of the place of geotourist attractions in the UNESCO World Heritage, which gives them the highest status of unique value. The second part aims at an overview of the naturalistic value of attractions of individual genetic categories. 
Knowledge of the discipline has an important worldview for future specialists who receive an education under this educational program, as it allows them to understand the reasons for the uneven distribution of natural attractions on a global scale and on the scale of individual continents, their different status and geotourism potential.
