The article analyzes the essence and significance of insurance as a key risk management tool in tourism. It is determined that the high level of risk in the industry determines the need to ensure proper insurance protection for all market participants. The main categories of risks are characterized: tourism (related to the safety and property of tourists) and economic (related to the activities of tourism enterprises). The authors systematize the classification of risks according to economic, political and social criteria, and also detail the types of tourism insurance by territorial basis, term of validity, types of insurers and types of risks. It is proven that insurance performs an important function in optimizing the allocation of the resources, rational formation of financial flows and minimizing the consequences of adverse events. The current state of the tourism insurance market in Ukraine is analyzed based on data for the first half of 2025, and significant differentiation among insurers in terms of the level of payments and the volume of fees is revealed. A number of problematic aspects have been identified, including the low insurance culture of the population, the lack of uniform standards, and the limited offer of specialized products for business.
Based on the SWOT analysis, promising areas for the development and improvement of tourist insurance in Ukraine have been identified, including digitalization, expanding insurance coverage, developing innovative products, and improving service quality. In addition, the structural components of comprehensive insurance protection for tourists abroad have been clarified, such as medical expenses, accident insurance, and civil liability insurance. Key obstacles to market development have been identified, including economic instability and consumer distrust. Specific measures have been proposed to overcome existing challenges, aimed at standardization, increasing transparency, and informing the public. The conclusion that insurance is a strategic tool for ensuring the safety and stability of the tourism industry and increasing its competitiveness in the international arena has been substantiated.
