One of the integral methods for assessing resource efficiency is the adjustment of net savings, which includes indicators reflecting consumption of fixed capital, depreciation, education costs, environmental protection costs and the value of specially protected natural areas (PAs), depletion of natural capital and damage to public health from habitat pollution. The purpose of the research is to assess the contribution of protected areas based on the value of their ecosystem services, taking into account the consideration of regional destinations of tourist and recreational services. The object of the research is the most significant specially protected natural objects of the Komi Republic. Methodological basis. To determine the economic value of regulating and cultural services, the methods of market indirect assessment, compensatory costs and travel expenses were used. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the tourist destination on recreational PAs resources was based on a combination of the target approach, including indicators of the contribution of the destination to the GRP, the growth of tourist flow, value added and an assessment of the volume of network interaction of tourism subjects. The hypothesis was the assumption of reducing the contribution of the value of protected areas to the region's GRP over a long study period, which means low efficiency in the use of natural capital. The statement of basic materials. Received the contribution of protected areas to gross savings, GRP for the period 2000-2018. An approach to assessing the tourist and recreational services of protected areas has been implemented, taking into account the implementation of a regional / local destination, integrated logistics, tourism resources and products aimed at reducing transaction costs, increasing production capacity, volume and quality of investment, reducing losses in the value chain and distribution, improving the quality of the tourist product, reducing the cost of improving and developing new products. The quality of the functioning of the food chain of destination has been determined. The originality of the research lies in the comprehensive consideration of protected areas as a resource for the regional economy. Conclusion of the research. The analysis carried out and the calculations carried out will make it possible in the future to determine the reserves and ways to achieve eco-efficiency in the use of the natural capital of the territories of special protection and development of tourism in PAs.
