Introduction
Extreme tourism is a type of tourism that is associated with a certain degree of risk, or with prohibitive physical or mental strain and stress in tough conditions.
The main thing in extreme tourism is natural settings for a selected type of holiday and experienced managers.All routes of extreme tourism have different categories of complexity.The majority does not require the years of experience and thorough preparation, and usually they are under the power of any healthy active person.[3].
Mountain climbing, jeep tours, kayaking, diving, paragliding, rafting, industrial and mountaineering are the most popular forms of recreation.Some travel companies offer to demanding tourists the exotic tourism.This could be a fly on the Earth's orbit, the descent from the mountains on a motorcycle, hunting for sharks under the water, traveling in the dungeon and descend from the sand dunes on a snowboard and other [2].
If not to take into account that the exotic tourism is expensive, we can say that an extreme tourism refers to one of the most attractive tourist recreation, because the most travelers want not only to see but to feel it.People go on holiday for emotions.They are willing to spend money for the positive and sometimes unusual emotions [13].
Problems and prospects of the extreme tourism development were studied by such scholars as I. Svida, A. Romanov, Yu.Dmytriievskyi, Ya.Arin, V. Huliaiev.Their works analyse the foreign development of recreation extreme forms, but as for Ukraine, this area still requires the further research study.

Purpose
The article aim is to analyse the development of extreme resort potential of Ukraine and popularizing of extreme tourism destinations in the travel market.

Methodology
Ukraine has the considerable potential for extreme forms of recreation, but it is underdeveloped.The forms of extreme tourism is largely unknown to domestic tourists, so they formed inert or negative attitude.
But the global tourism industry is constantly developing and offering the new services to all tourists [1].In recent times the great demand for not only the usual sightseeing trips and also tourism associated with the recreational activities.Ukraine has enough places where the extreme tourism can be organized.The klondike of ideas embodiment in this context can and should become Zakarpattia, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk region.
Each year in the Zakarpattia region the extreme competitions are hold.Among the popular places of the organized extreme sport are Mukachevo, Uzhgorod and surroundings of the Borzhava River.
Among the most popular forms of extreme tourism in our country are: mountaineering and mountain hiking; caving; skiing; white-water rafting (rafting on mountain rivers); paragliding and hang gliding.
In the Zakarpattia region the mountainous kinds of extreme tourism are popular.The most extreme form of recreation is considered the mountaineering; the tourists overcome various obstacles of varying degrees of severity.
The Carpathian mountains, located on the territory of Zakarpattia region, are relatively safe and there is the possibility to organize the climbing routes of varying difficulty.The Caucasus or the Urals are famous for the sharp slopes and dips, so to organize tours there is not the most profitable business.In Zakarpattia, if exclude from the tourist routes the most rugged mountains Gorgan, all other mountains in the region can be considered as suitable for the development of mountaineering.Today the most visited mountains are located in Volovetsk, Mizhhirsk, Rakhivsk, Velykoberezniansk, Svaliavsk and Mukachivsk districts [4].
The popularity of skiing and snowboarding increases from year to year.The highest ski base of Ukrainian Carpathians is Drahobrat where the two rope tows kilometer long lead from the height of over 1,300 m near the Stig mountain (1704 m).
If to remember the climbing routes, the hundreds of them are laid in the Smotrych canyon.There the rock canyon was washed with the Smotrych River, which forms the open loop around the old city.The height of the cliffs in the canyon reaches fifty meters.
The terrestrial kinds of extreme tourism include caving, horse riding and hunting tourism, pedestrian and combined bus-hiking, mountbiking, X-racing, sport orienteering, avtotour, rally, mototourism and survival in the wild.
As for caving, there are dozens of caves in the Zakarpattia region.The most popular among tourists are the caves near the settlements Kniahynia, Mala Uholka and cave «Druzhba», located in Tiachivsk district.
As for equestrian, hunting and walking tourism, they certainly can be developed throughout the Ukraine, because in our country there is an enought necessary resource potential.Tourists can be offered the combined tours -the combination of several kinds of active rest in one route, such as tracking and equestrian tourism.

Findings

Here is a short list of the popular kinds of extreme tourism in other countries.
Thus, Turkey is famous for diving.Places for diving are incredibly much.The most popular is considered Bordum, Cargo and Kechek islands.On the way to the islands are beautiful underwater reefs.Catal Island is a favorite place for fans of underwater archeology.Thus here is the world's only museum of underwater treasure.Also in Turkey, there are many proposals for travel on mountain river.The most popular place for rafting fans is the mountain river Dalaman [8].

If to go back to Ukraine, it can be emphasized that in this country there are all opportunities for the development of some types of extreme tourism, but the public authorities are not given enough attention on this problem.In addition, in Ukraine the lack of objective information about the safety and availability of extreme sports encourage the domestic tourists to seek such services in other countries.Do not forget about the worsening of social and economic situation in the country, where the cost of basic necessities need to be increased, and costs on holidays are reduced accordingly.However, in Ukraine there is the resource potential for the organization of recreation available to the wider population [5].
For example, mountain bike is the downhill from the mountain on a bike, the overcoming obstacles through stones, high-speed travel through dangerous places, fast ride around the track with jumps and other obstacles.
The sport orienteering with a map and a compass can be interesting for Ukrainians.In Zakarpattia the sport orienteering competitions can be organized in the area of the Nevitskij castle.
In Zakarpattia region are the ideal preconditions for this extraordinary sport like hang-gliding and paragliding.The most favorable conditions are the territory of Rakhiv, Perechyn, Velykobereznianskyi and partially in other areas [7].
The water extreme tourism can be developed: the descent on mountain rivers by canoe.In Zakarpattia, the descent on mountain rivers by canoe can be organized (Vynohradivsk, Perechynsk, Velykoberezniansk and Uzhhorod areas) [8].
Do not forget about such a romantic and extreme kind of the rest as flying on balloons.There are excellent natural conditions for the development of aeronautics in Ukraine.The flights over the megacities above the beautiful historical places, which in our country are enough can be organized.Today in Ukraine about twenty balloons are only used that is in twenty times less than in Russia and Holland and in the three hundred times (!) in comparison with Germany.
Among the extreme kinds of sport is skydiving.So far, this kind of extreme sports is at an early stage of development in Ukraine.
Today in Ukraine there are only three large dropzones: two in Kyiv and one near Dnipropetrovsk, which is in twenty times less than in the UK.
The rafting is one of the popular kinds of sport nowadays in other countries and perspective for the development in Ukraine.Our lowland rivers without rapids are suited very well for raftings of ordinary people and not for athletes training.For the adventure-seekers the Pivdennyi Buh with its rapids and shallows will be a good variant, and for the most experienced the mountain rivers of Carpathians.
Safari is a fascinating experience.And if in the last century, it meant the hunting wild African animals, with the advent of modern photography Safari can be a photo or video hunting that is not harmful to living creatures.

Ukraine with its resource potential is a country of great opportunities for the organization of active and extreme rest.
The tourist can be attracted with the element of novelty, stress and release of energy excess and the financially availability.

The railway can arrange the delivery to the place of extreme kinds of tourism and accommodation in comfortable cars (among other benefits: savings in hotels and restaurants, essential travel can begin from the moment of boarding the car, accessibility from a financial point of view), and representatives of sports clubs will be responsible for the proper conduct of specific activities.
In the course of the study the list of factors that is included in the economic category «the attractiveness of the route of a tourist trip» was further developed, these factors are: most convenient time of the passenger trip, comfort of rolling stock, the number of stops and attraction sites of historical, natural and cultural heritage that will be used to set the category of the route and predict the economic efficiency of travel.

Conclusions
The world extreme tourism is growing rapidly, but Ukraine is significantly far behind the developed countries [12].
However, with well-organized approach the development of extreme tourism of the domestic tourism market is very promising.
The low level of development the tourism infrastructure and social standards of the population hinders the development of adventure tourism in Ukraine.According to many domestic experts, there is a great potential for the extreme tourism, which can be opened with the general social and economic development of the State.
