In the literature often envisaged the issue of the functions of tourism as a form of social and economic activities. But for the positive impact on the individual and the economy, falls on deaf ears the main function of tourism, which consists in the communication of tourists with tourism resources in an extended sense. As well as in the sphere of transport service and the mass media, communication is a kind of metafunction of tourism, which integrates and mediates the implementation of its other functions. This logical conclusion is fundamentally changing ideas about the role of tourism in development of territories and society in general.
Key words. Tourism, functions of tourism, communication, motivation of travel, tourist resources, collective accommodation facilities, recreation, business tourism, cultural tourism, metafunction of tourism.
