The factors that influence the development of tourist infrastructure are studied, among which the factors of negative action are highlighted. A number of problems of green tourism infrastructure development in Ukraine have been identified. Priority ways of development of transport routes and inland tourist routes have been determined based on the analysis of the current state of the transport system of Ukraine and the assessment of compliance with its European standards. The main incentives for the development of tourist services for foreign visitors are highlighted. The importance of state support in enhancing the tourist attractiveness of our country, in ensuring the proper implementation of investment programs for the development of the tourism industry, is emphasized. Scientific novelty. The necessity to use a systematic approach in the process of developing the infrastructure of the tourist services market is substantiated. It made possible to identify the main directions of development of tourist services infrastructure, which include: qualitative and quantitative filling of tourist services according to the needs and requests of consumers; adequate level of convenience, safety and rational logistics of tourist transportation; development and implementation of information and modern technologies of the tourist market. Practical significance. Results can be used in the process of further scientific elaboration of an important scientific problem - improving the efficiency of the market development of tourist services and rural green tourism enterprises.
