Abstract

The article deals with the problems of becoming a tourist law of Ukraine, as well as its primary category – the rules of touristlaw. In particular, the concept, features and structure of the rules of tourist law are defined. The classification of the rules of tourist lawaccording to different characteristics. It is established that the structure of the norm of tourist law from the point of view of its logicalconstruction is represented by the three-element architectonics of the legal norm, according to which it consists of disposition, hypo -thesis and sanction. The examples of the structure of the tourist legal norm based on the results of the analysis of the current normativelegal acts of Ukraine governing the relations in the sphere of tourism are given. The characteristic of the norms of tourist law accordingto the proposed classification is made.In addition, it is noted that the complex branch of tourism law in systemic-structural architecture is differentiated both in termsof the dialectical combination of public and private law, and in terms of synergetic of substantive and procedural rules within the frameworkof tourist law. After all, any substantive norm requires its proper and effective procedural fixing and provision, which reinforcesthe basic general laws of formation of a complex branch of tourist law as a broad, multi-objective, interdisciplinary determined legalphenomenon of mixed type.The logical conclusion is that modern political-legal and socio-economic processes and global challenges lead to significantchanges in law-making and actualize problems of formation, development, organization and functioning of complex branches of lawin the legal system of Ukraine. This objectively determines the significant changes in the system of law, the emergence of new branchesof it, integrative legal entities, including the cross-sectoral nature. Among them, the set of legal norms that regulate public relations inthe sphere of tourism play an important role. Accumulating various activities related to the creation, distribution, exchange and consumption of the tourism product, as well as the corresponding resources, markets, public institutions, the scope of legal regulation isexpanding and, as a result, a relatively independent new branch of law – tourism, is formed. In this context, it is logical to study its primarycategory – the rules of tourist law.Therefore, the study of the rules of tourist law, the definition of the concept, features and structure of the rules of tourist law, aswell as their classification on various grounds will strengthen our assertion about the separation of the complex branch of tourist lawin the domestic system of law. It is also an important step that will lead to a revival of sound scientific research in this field, on the basisof which it would be advisable to reform the legislation in the field of tourism, which would meet the real challenges of today.
