As part of the study of the features of management aspects of health tourism development, the forms of its spatial organization – tourist destination and tourist cluster are considered. Destination and tourist cluster are considered as two systems to meet the tourist's needs: destination creates conditions for health tourism organization at the level of a particular region, forming a cluster in health tourism is aimed at supporting and developing a destination as a competitive local specific tourist product. In order to provide recommendations on the health tourism development in the Kherson region (Ukraine), the current status is assessed, the advantages of the potential of the tourist sphere of the Kherson region are determined.
