The vectors of planning and organisation of tourist trips during martial law are proposed. The organisational levers that would enable effective planning and organisation of tourist trips in Volyn are identified, thus ensuring an increase in the efficiency and competitiveness of the tourism industry in the region. It is found that under martial law, it is necessary to form routes taking into account the location of bomb shelters. The issues of safety of tourist trips, excursions, visits to museums, places for rest and recreation under martial law are coordinated by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, military-civilian administrations, local authorities, police, and military. It is determined that Volyn region is one of the few territories where tourism activities are permitted. The region has a large number of forests and reservoirs, as well as rich flora and fauna. Volyn is suitable for educational, recreational, ethnic, water, ecotourism and hunting, and the enthusiasm of the region's residents and visitors, as well as their donations to the Armed Forces and their firm belief in our Victory, are powerful incentives to move faster and more confidently in this direction.
