The author attempts to define the term 'tourism landscape.' It is treated as an important attribute of tourism space, therefore, apart from its definition, the author presents its characteristic features and various types of such spaces with differing tourism landscapes. The landscapes of tourism space are treated not only as tourism assets or attractions, but also as the consequences of tourism activity in the natural and cultural environment. The article regards tourist space, understood as a part of geographical space in which the phenomenon of tourist traffic is observed. The subject of this space is a human being called the tourist, and the working elements of the tourist infrastructure it contains define its character. Tourist space may be studied on several cognitive planes, including the following: the system plane, which treats the space and its elements as a system; the morphological plane, describing its structure and the relations between its components; the functional plane, based primarily on the studies of tourist traffic; the metaphorical plane, largely referring to the non-material elements of space; and the landscape plane, which is a combination of the afore-mentioned planes. It should be remembered, however, that only comprehensive studies, taking into consideration some or all of the listed planes, lead to the full understanding of the phenomenon.
