The potential of the natural landscapes of the Bykhovsky district of the Mogilev region of the Republic of Belarus is considered for the purpose of developing nature-oriented types of tourism, such as ecological, agroecotourism, health and wellness, active, hunting and educational.

The study is based on the analysis of data on the physical and geographical features of the district, its landscape structure and natural resources, including natural monuments and reserves. Geoinformation technologies are used to create a digital map of the district landscapes.

The need to improve infrastructure and cooperate with local agroeco-estates to attract tourists is emphasized. Attention is also focused on the restoration of health and wellness tourism and educational tourism, which can increase interest in the ecology and cultural heritage of the region.

The possibilities for the development of various tourist destinations are described. Measures are proposed to increase the attractiveness of the area as a tourist destination.
