Abstract: Inclusive tourism is a fairly new area of research compared to recreational or cognitive tourism. However, the interpretation and meaning of the concepts that define the meaning of the term «Inclusive Tourism» are the subject of scientific debate. The analysis of world experience has shown that tourists with special needs occupy an important segment of the tourist market. Inclusive tourism is a necessary type of tourism in each tourist region at different levels. It is one of the most intensively developing types of tourism. Detailed analysis requires a clear definition of the content of inclusive tourism and the definition of theoretical and applied aspects of the formation of accessible environment of this type of tourism, taking into account its specificity. The article analyzes the approaches of scientists to the interpretation of the concept of «inclusive tourism», identifies the key criteria for meaningful content of the studied type of tourism (adaptability, communicativeness, accessibility, conformity, security, infrastructure and rationality). The analysis of the content and significance of the accessible environment of inclusive tourism is carried out, the expediency of its formation is proved, the key components of such environment are defined (institutional, spatial, informational, communicative-organizational). It has been proved that in inclusive tourism, the key role is played by tourist entities – tourists for whom tourist services are provided and professionals – who provide these tourist services or sell tourist products. Our own vision of the concept of «inclusive tourism» as a specific type of tourism, the main purpose of which is barrier-free access to all tourist resources, positive psychological climate, equal opportunities for all tourists, full-scale informing people with special needs about the possibilities of a tourist object , and also provides for the rapid ability of tourism entities to adapt to the needs of people with special needs
