The problems of disclosure of the theoretic-methodological basis of the tourism and recreational potential, its functions and role in society as a source of innovatics in tourism have been actualized; the categories of «potential», «tourism», «recreation», «tourism and recreational potential», «tourism and recreational potential of territory» are defined. It is noted that digitalization, innovation, greater accessibility and societal change will continue to shape this sector, and companies will need to adapt to remain competitive while at the same time the tourism and recreational potential will be conceived as a means of achieving the goals of sustainable development and tourism attractiveness of territories. It is noted that the basis for the development of tourism and recreational functions, of course, is the tourism potential, which can be described as the most important determining factor in the development of tourism and increasing the competitiveness of territories. The tourism potential determines the possibilities of creating new tourism products.
