    (Гельветика, 2025) Lozytskyi Oleksandr; Лозицький Олександр
    The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the formation, development and transformation of local history tourism in the Chernihiv region after 1991, and to identify the historical, sociocultural and political factors that have influenced tourism activities in the region amid Ukraine’s independence, digitalization processes, and external aggression. Methodology. The research employs an interdisciplinary approach, combining historical-genetic, comparative-analytical, and problem-chronological methods. The analysis is based on primary sources such as official statistics, regional tourism development programs, museum and archival materials, as well as academic and local history publications. In order to highlight modernchallenges, elements of content analysis of digital tourism platforms and public reports from regional cultural authorities are used. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the comprehensive coverage of the stages of development of local history tourism in Chernihiv Oblast in the post-Soviet period –from the early initiatives of local heritage communities to its institutionalization through national reserves and tourism routes. For the first time in scholarly literature, the impact of external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale Russian invasion has been analyzed in relation to tourism infrastructure, including the destruction of heritage sites, the decline of visitor flows, and the increased importance of digital preservation and representation of historical memory. Conclusions. Chernihiv region is one of Ukraine’s richest territories in terms of historical and cultural heritage, maintaining tourism appeal even in times of crisis. The main stages of development include: the emergence of cultural and educational initiatives in the 19th century, mass school and trade union tourism in the Soviet era, post-Soviet commercialization, and the current digital transformation. Despite significant losses caused by war, the region retains a network of museums, reserves, and natural heritage sites, which may serve as a foundation for renewed routes, including memorial tourism. In the near future, key success factors will include the implementation of innovative digital navigation tools, the engagement of domestic tourists, and the development of partnerships between local communities and cultural institutions.

    Museums of the Chernihiv Region in the System of Local History Tourism:Potential,Challenges, and Prospects
    (2025) Lozytskyi Oleksandr; Лозицький Олександр
    The purpose of the article is to examine the museum network of the Chernihiv region as a system-forming factor of local history tourism. The study reveals the historical stages of the development of regional museum institutions, from the first initiatives of the late nineteenth century to the contemporary period marked by digitalization and the challenges of wartime. It is determined that from the moment of their establishment, museums of the Chernihiv region have performed not only a preservation function but also an educational and outreach role, thereby forming the foundation for the development of cultural and educational tourism. The role of museum institutions as infrastructural hubs of the tourism network is scientifically substantiated, as they ensure the preservation, interpretation, and promotion of the historical and cultural heritage of the region.The methodological basis of the research consists of the principles of historicism, systematicity, and integrity, implemented through the application of historical-genetic, comparative-analytical, and culturological methods. The source base includes scholarly publications, official statistical data, and electronic resources of museums. Particular attention is paid to leading institutions, including the V.V.Tarnovskyi Chernihiv Regional Historical Museum and the national reserves ‘Ancient Chernihiv’, ‘Hetman Capital’, ‘Kachanivka’, and ‘The Tale of Ihor’s Campaign’, whose activities form the core of the museum and tourism infrastructure of the region. The functioning of peripheral museums in Nizhyn, Pryluky, Sosnytsia, Ichnia, Korop, and other settlements is also analyzed.The scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive consideration of the museum system of the Chernihiv region as a unified communication space that integrates research, heritage protection, cultural and educational, and tourism activities. For the first time, regional museums are defined as infrastructural hubs of local history tourism, acting not only as repositories of cultural values but also as active factors in shaping the tourism offer. Contemporary trends in the development of the museum sector are highlighted in the context of decentralization, international partnership, and post-war restoration of cultural infrastructure.Conclusions. The museum network of the Chernihiv region emerges as an integral institutional system that plays a leading role in shaping the tourist image of the region. Through the combination of collection management, exhibition, research, and communication activities, museums ensure the integration of historical and cultural heritage into the tourism sphere and contribute to establishing the Chernihiv region as an important center of cultural and educational tourism in Northern Ukraine.
