This article examines the role of biosphere reserves and national parks in tourism. It highlights both the theoretical and practical aspects of protecting natural areas and integrating them into sustainable tourism processes. The study emphasizes the significance of biosphere reserves and national parks in fostering ecotourism, enhancing public environmental awareness, revitalizing regional economies, and expanding international cooperation. The findings indicate that the sustainable development of tourism in these areas not only ensures the conservation of natural resources but also contributes to improving the well-being of local communities.
