The article proves the necessity of the development of tourism in the South-East Crimea, based on the geological attractions of the region, including those that are parts of the existing protected areas. The importance of promoting geotourism within the potential geopark in the Sudak-Feodosiya region for the sustainable development of the coastal area, maintaining local communities, and implementing tasks for the geo-conservation of unique geological objects is emphasized. The author offers a list of the most relevant and complete methodological approaches for the inventory of geological heritage sites and their assessment, also aiming the development of tourism and education. A list of geodiversity elements potential for consideration as key objects for inclusion in tourist routes is given: the Karadag volcanic massif, the Alchak and Meganom capes, a section of the Middle-Upper Jurassic sediments on the ridge Biyuk-Yanishar, Karaul-Oba mountain range, etc.
