The aim of this article is to identify tourist values of the Eastern Beskids in Ukraine (within the borders of Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts). According to field research, natural values are most important for tourism and they are the basis of several forms of tourism. It should be stressed that winter sports developed especially in the last few years. On the other hand, rich and unique ethnography forms a major factor of anthropogenic values, which distinguishes the Eastern Beskids Mts. from the other parts of the Carpathian Mts. Tourism, especially cultural one, develops thanks to the anthropogenic values, mainly in the Pokutia-Bukovina Beskidy Mts. and Sanok-Turka Mts. The development of tourism encounters some serious obstacles, e.g. infrastructural shortages and an increasing number of environmental conflicts. On the other hand, a low level of development is highly valued by foreign tourists, because many mountain regions, e.g. in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia are heavily invested.
