Literature review is devoted to medical and biological efficiency of health tourism of modern youth, who are characterized by deterioration of health indicators due to the high prevalence of bad habits, lack of knowledge and inexperience in matters of disease prevention, lack of interest in the implementation of health measures and low level of physical activity. The authors describe health tourism as one of the most effective and attractive means of health improvement due to high availability to the youth and fitness of a big part of the territory of the Russian Federation for tourist activities. They consider it as the basis of a healthy lifestyle able to affect on its quality and duration, as well as disease prevention. Healthcare effect of sports and health tourism is greatly enhanced by the fact that they are carried out mainly in the green forest countryside or urban parkland. Physical activity in the conditions of the forest or parkland landscapes provides favorable effect of flora, bioclimate, topography and the picturesque landscape terrain, aimed at disadaptation prevention and improving the general non-specific resistance. Health tourism is similar in its healthcare effect to a sanatorium resort climate landscape therapy, being actually its variation. The health improvement process in both cases is a highly active motor activity, which improves mental performance, the level of the functional state of the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems, forms a harmonious constitution. Physical activity in the forest or parkland offers a man a rare opportunity to approach nature, observe and appreciate its beauty.
Relevance. The sudden epidemiological complications that have emerged in the current century have highlighted the serious difficulties on the part of medical services and States in general in responding to epidemiological emergencies of international significance, which required a comprehensive study of the scale of the problem of the negative socio-economic consequences of epidemics for the modern state. The aim of the work was to study the factors that determine the current configuration of medical and social risks in the pre-epidemic period and form the socio-economic significance of epidemics and pandemics in a developed postindustrial society. The results are based on the monitoring, analysis and aggregation of information from specialized national and international industry publications and online resources (medical, socio-economic), as well as materials from peer-reviewed periodicals, on the practical development of author's approaches and assessments of the functioning of the anti-epidemic preparedness system at the international and national levels. Modern factors that aggravate the negative consequences of the pandemic for demography and the state economy in the absence of immunoprophylaxis and specific therapy are identified. Conclusion. The socio-economic significance of epidemiological events in the modern post-industrial society is significantly higher than the predicted level, based on the calculations of the cost of a clinical case of an infectious disease used in the previous century, namely: without including the costs of sanitary and anti-epidemic measures in the foci of the disease, for the deployment of a hospital base; for ensuring a strict anti-epidemic regime of work in medical institutions, for the rehabilitation and restoration of health of persons who have suffered an infectious disease; for the organization of preventive measures in non-medical organizations and enterprises (including information and explanatory work among the population); for the organization of medical care for persons with somatic pathology.
The concept of “recreational footpath” is introduced as comfortable linear recreational facilities for mass pedestrian tourism, as element of path network of recreational areas. Proposals to improve the regulatory and methodological support for the creation and operation of a system of recreational footpaths have been developed. The definition of ecological footpath is proposed as a form of recreational footpath designed for eco-tourism. The classification of recreational footpath and their technical characteristics are proposed.
