Summary/Abstract: The article is a voice in the discussion on the need to develop a unified theoretical concept of tourism product, based on the achievements of economic sciences,but taking into account the interdisciplinary nature of this category. The product is aneconomic category, but the tourism sciences are understood very heterogeneously and freely, often in a way that negates the economic nature of this concept. This problem particularly arises in the situations of undertaking the analysis of this category: in the operation of components, in looking for practical possibilities of implementation of the concept and during the implementation of specific products and tourist pseudoproducts in the practice of the tourism economy. The substantive concept of a tourist product should be based on the separation of approaches to the interpretation of this categoryin the form of a concept or set of concepts, the separation of constituent elements (structure) and taking into account the conditions for the creation of a tourist product. The dimension of the subject matter is theoretical, but it should have some practical effects. The aim of the study is therefore to present the theoretical basis of the concept of tourism product understood in a comprehensive manner, meaning it is determined by the existence of a tourist destination creating in its own area.
