Ukraine is positioned as a country with a strong tourism potential, much of which still remains unrealized. The main task of the study is to segment the regions of Ukraine according to the level of their tourism development. Attribute-cluster analysis using k-means and k-means ++ technologies was used to solve the problem. Territorial distribution showed clear priorities for the development of certain types of tourism in geospatial context: northeast direction – priority development of business tourism; southern direction – priority development of recreational tourism; western direction – priority development of health tourism; center – emphasis on the development of cultural and historical tourism.
