The purpose of research: based on the analysis of demand for ethnic products of Boykivshchyna to substantiate the importance of tourism in the promotion of cultural heritage of Boykivshchyna and to suggest forms of their use in tourism. The object of research is the totality of the cultural heritage of Boykivshchyna as a tourist resource.

Elements of cultural heritage are of interest, including samples of folk art.  The positive and negative aspects of the use of cultural heritage in tourism and the role of territorial communities in the promotion of elements of cultural heritage are analyzed.

Results. The authors proposed forms of using elements of tangible and intangible cultural heritage in tourism on the example of Boykivshchyna: holding ethno-festivals, organizing tours, conducting master classes on the production of applied arts in museums and cooking traditional dishes in restaurants, organizing animation programs with elements of folk art.

Conclusion. Preservation of cultural heritage and its rational use are crucial for the sustainable attraction of tourist flows and the improvement of socio-economic indicators of the regions.  The database can be used by all stakeholders and beneficiaries of cultural heritage and tourism activities: tourism entities, local governments, managers in the field of culture and preservation of monuments.
