“…It is not uncommon for heritage assets that comprise the backbone of tourism destinations to be closely linked with aspects of military history [3]. From castles and fortifications dating back to the medieval period to more recent vestiges of conflict, a significant portion of cultural heritage in contemporary destinations evoke and retell histories of important martial events [4].…”

Military tourism has been growing in Portugal in recent years with numerous initiatives to enhance and promote the country’s military and historical heritage. In the academic context, studies have emerged to consolidate the segment in the tourism activity. In this framework, INSIGNIA was born, a project aimed at monitoring, evaluating and optimizing the Military Tourism Route. The implementation of the route and the network-based strategies chosen to structure the supply have been monitored to register key insights gathered through this model of heritage asset intervention and tourism development. This paper proposes a reflective overview of the implementation and monitoring processes, a lookback at the work conducted. Firstly, proposes a reflection on the implementation process, tracing its genesis in response to the conjunctures of the structuring of tourism supply and the consolidation of the concept itself. It seeks to reflect on the specific choices and services developed during the implementation process. Based on this lookback, the authors then propose a replicable model to guide these implementation processes. Using the monitoring experience of this study as a reference point, the model suggests possible metrics, as well as proposals for the collection and analysis of data relevant to its wider application.

“…As foreign experience shows, military tourism in other countries is quite popular. Thus, the USA, Israel, China, Spain, France, Great Britain and others annually gain millions of dollars from this type of tourism (Hao, 2017;Smith, 1998;Ratnayake & Hapugoda, 2016;Zwigenberg, 2016). Military tourism in Ukraine can become a mean of getting acquainted with the military-historical heritage of the people and the country, which will serve as a tool for patriotic education of youth (Vynnychenko, & Rudnichenko, 2016).…”

The article proves that the promising development of domestic tourism in Ukraine is military tourism. Military tourism has several directions, depending on which the consumers of tourist services are segmented. It was emphasized that there are enough locations in Ukraine that can become "places of memory", because since 2014, russia has caused a lot of destruction and committed hundreds of other crimes on the territory of Ukraine.Military tourism services related to warfare historical events are based on visiting former battle sites and places of military historical significance. For example, in Ukraine, these are, firstly, the territories of active military operations -from Kharkiv to Mykolayiv, including the entire Donbas region, places of military glory of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and secondly, historical places associated with the Second World War. This direction focuses on the acquisition of passive experience and has a clearly expressed educational goal. Potential target groups are veterans who took part in the battles that took place in certain places and their families, as well as tourists interested in history.An additional, but no less interesting direction of military tourism, which includes both directions, is the recreation of historical military events with the use of military equipmentguns, tanks, airplanes, etc. This variety also assumes a target group that suffers from mental rather than physical stress in the everyday work environment, which negatively affects their wants and needs. In general, the target market for military tourism consists of different sectors.

“…Потенційні локації військового туризму мають стати майданчиками історичних реконструкцій та «платформами діалогу і пам'яті». Водночас, автор констатує, що відвідування військових атракцій та місць пам'яті завжди матиме неоднозначне сприйняття суспільством -для одних це місце може бути розвагою, для інших − тісно пов'язане із трагічним досвідом [4].…”

The events of world history and modern armed confrontations have left numerous fortifications, battlefields, various types of weapons, most of which can be considered as a powerful resource for tourism development. The constant interest of people in military history, historical battles, battles and other military heritage promotes military tourism. However, despite the presence of a certain array of research and publications on various aspects of the development of this type of tourism, basic research in the definition and classification of military tourism has not been identified. Therefore, the theoretical justifications of the essence of military tourism as an innovative direction of extreme and cognitive tourism are timely and relevant. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the main theoretical provisions and principles of military tourism, covered in domestic and foreign scientific publications. It has been found that in Western scientific literature, military tourism or military heritage tourism functions alongside such terms as "blood tourism", dark tourism and tanatourism, while in the Ukrainian scientific literature it is given a place among extreme, entertainment and specialized types of tourism. Based on the analysis of scientific discussions and already proposed criteria for tourism identification, it is proposed to understand military tourism as one of the types of tourism, which involves visiting historical and modern military sites / institutions / locations, attracting tourists to the realities of modern military life, in safe military events or their historical reconstructions, etc. The main motives of tourists for military travel are described. The typification of the main criteria and principles of classification of military tourism in tourist activity is given. The author's classification of types of military tourism is offered, according to which military-historical, military and military-event types of tourism are distinguished.
