The use of renewable energy in sustainable tourism development of the region is substantiated in the paper. There are three stages in selecting areas for projects on renewable energy sources: selection of the potentially suitable area; consideration of exclusion criteria; detailed assessment of potential areas. The impact factors on spatial constraints and the opportunities for building solar power plants, on the parameters of sustainable tourism development in the Carpathian region were determined. New research findings were obtained, the result of which was the concept and cartographic models of the environmentally safe location of renewable energy objects. New methods and methodological recommendations for the development of renewable energy in the Carpathian region were described as prospective taking into account the constraints on the parameters of environmental safety and tourist use of the territory.
