Psychological support of tourist travel as a process of familiarization with the civilizational heritage

Psychological and pedagogical problems of tourism, development, and implementation of psychological and pedagogical support of tourism are still the areas of extremely little theoretical and applied research. At the same time, tourism acts as one of the practices that intensively change the personal and social identity of a person, serving his / her development, and transforming his / her needs as a “person travelling” (homo tornus). This transformation leads to active changes in tourism itself, in the training of personnel for tourism. Thus, modern family and youth tourism is actively changing both in its form and content. The purpose of the research is to analyze the problems of transformation of the identity of a travelling person in the context of his / her contact with the civilizational heritage, including in its regional dimension. The research method is a theoretical analysis of the problems of transformation of the identity of a person travelling in the context of contact with the civilizational heritage. There is also a type of people who use travel as an escape from problems, their transformations are less pronounced as a result, but travel teaches a person to trust himself/herself and life, come to terms with difficulties and uncertainties, endure hardships, and accept changes.
