Context: A very socially significant pathology in the modern world is arterial hypertension. The fight against
it is built on the positions of prevention and rehabilitation, including using tourism. It is based on a change of
scenery with the exception of monotonous living conditions and distraction from negative moments. Hiking
and travel take people to a new landscape and climate environment, provide them with emotionally-colored
contact with nature. The improvement of people with arterial hypertension by means of health tourism is
largely based on the positive effect of natural health resources on their bodies in combination with recreational
and health moments - air and sun baths, health path, herbal medicine, florotherapy. Normalization of blood
pressure in people predisposed to arterial hypertension also often occurs in the conditions of camping trips.
This is also facilitated by their diet with increased consumption of foods saturated with potassium and the
restriction of salt.
