This article is devoted to the study of inclusive tourism in Ukraine. The research analyses the theoretical foundations and the current state of inclusive tourism, determines its role in the social integration of people with disabilities, and provides recommendations for the further development of this segment of the tourism market. A complex of methods was used, such as the analysis of scientific literature, legislation, statistical data, and comparative analysis to achieve the research goal. The research results showed that inclusive tourism in Ukraine has significant potential for development but faces several challenges related to the lack of accessibility of tourist facilities and services, the absence of precise legislative regulation, and insufficient public awareness. At the same time, inclusive tourism is considered an effective tool for rehabilitation, social integration, and improving the quality of life of people with disabilities. The research expands the theoretical foundations of inclusive tourism, analyses the current state and prospects of its development in Ukrainian conditions, and provides practical recommendations for improving the accessibility of tourist services for people with disabilities. The research results can be used to develop government policy in the field of tourism, develop programs to support inclusive tourism and raise awareness among tour operators, hotels, and other tourism industry stakeholders about the needs of people with disabilities. Prospective directions for further research include developing effective mechanisms for financing inclusive tourism, studying the impact of inclusive tourism on the socio-economic development of regions, and developing standards for the accessibility of tourist facilities and services. Inclusive tourism is an important direction for the development of the tourism industry in Ukraine. The research confirms that inclusive tourism is an effective tool for rehabilitation, social integration, and improving the quality of life of people with disabilities. It contributes to expanding opportunities for recreation and travel, as well as strengthening social ties.

Keywords: inclusive tourism, rehabilitation, people with disabilities, accessibility, social integration.
