The study of various practices of cooperation between EU member states allows Ukraine to activate the participation of various institutions, and not only state, but also representatives of the tourism business, local self-government bodies, public, educational, and scientific organizations. We propose to study the experience of financing various projects and to develop effective mechanisms for the participation of public organizations in the implementation of EU tourism policy. Such projects may include measures to protect the natural and historical and cultural heritage. It is extremely important that the field of tourism develops in the conditions of a growing supply of services for foreign tourists. so that in the future the tourism sector will become a leader among the economic sectors and a catalyst for the European integration of Ukraine
