World and domestic experience shows that it is very effective to use the method of "tourist destinations" for the development of complex programs or strategies for tourism (1). As a result of numerous studies, a fairly coherent system of describing a "tourist destination" has been developed, allowing you to have a fairly comprehensive idea of both the product itself and the conditions for its receipt, attractiveness and related products. At the same time, the task of entrepreneurs, investors and representatives of regional authorities responsible for the tourism industry is to determine the prospects for the development of a particular tourist product or route. To do this, it is necessary to solve the problem of determining the investment attractiveness and prospects of a particular tourist destination, determine its competitiveness in relation to those available in this region and make a decision on the priority and expediency of investing in this direction of the tourism industry. This article is an attempt of the authors to formalize the process of determining the priority and promising development of regional tourism directions in the region, using the example of the tourism industry of Udmurtia. The basis is the preparation of a passport of a tourist destination and the use of expert assessments.

The role of clusters for regional tourism, the stages of cluster formation and its advantages are considered. Business clustering contributes to raising awareness of the travel destination and enhancing branding through a combination of knowledge and resources. With the formation of a cluster, it is possible to increase the success of the regions by spending on tourism and visiting tourists. The purpose of the article is to find out how the tourism business in the regional direction can progress at the stages of cluster formation. Find out what contributes to the branding of the tourism business, significantly develops the tourism industry and contributes to the management know-how of cluster formation. It is noted that the creation of the cluster will improve the tourism brand of the region. The cooperation of stakeholders in the tourism business in promoting the branding of territories has been investigated and their effectiveness in various tourism destinations has been revealed. A cluster approach is proposed for regional tourism enterprises to create a tourism cluster using a step-by-step guide method. Business clusters can be implemented from the top down by regional authorities, or from the bottom up by a group of enterprises. A business cluster is directly guided by groups of enterprises and does not require public support; it has broader regional implications. Bottom-up clusters support intangible qualities better. A bottom-up approach is the most appropriate clustering style. However, even with in-depth research, there is still a significant lack of information about the formation of a cluster or the creation of a business cluster. It was revealed that the formation of the cluster at different stages made it possible to unite the enterprises of the tourism industry and improve the branding of the region through the creation of an event. The formation and functioning of a business cluster is a successful cooperation of stakeholders. Cooperation and clustering of the tourism business determines the management of tourist destinations and is the goal of improving cooperation between the subjects of the tourism market and government bodies in the region.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the experiences of international tourists with healthy signature food at a tourist destination, and explore the perceptions of food providers regarding the preparation of healthy signature foods. Healthy signature food at tourist destinations has become a crucial factor that can determine whether tourists revisit a tourist destination. The relevant literature review and Urry’s tourist gaze theory indicate that there is a lack of previous research on healthy signature foods among international tourists and food providers. The current study addresses this gap by providing a holistic understanding of healthy signature foods and how they have led to a culture of healthy eating in the tourism industry. Design/methodology/approach A case study was conducted in Malacca, a World UNESCO Heritage Site, to identify the experiences of international tourists with local signature foods. A purposive sampling method was selected to gather information from international tourists and food providers. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews to gain a detailed perspective of healthy signature foods. Findings The results revealed four thematic analysis outcomes, namely, memorable food experiences, food hygiene consciousness, cultural values and tourist happiness, which directly impact tourists’ satisfaction and intention to revisit. Additionally, aspects such as type of trip, trip frequency and the purpose of the trip influenced tourists’ experiences with healthy signature food. Furthermore, it was found that the selected food providers prepared their meals according to the standard procedures. Originality/value The current study extends Urry’s tourist gaze theory by exploring tourists’ perceptions of healthy signature food as well as exploring the way the food is prepared. Healthy signature food has much potential as a means of attracting and sustaining international tourists at tourist destinations. Furthermore, it strengthens the supply chain relationship between international tourists (customers) and food providers (suppliers) in the food tourism industry.

The article discusses the significance of the events in the development of the tourism industry and in the formation of the image of the regions. It is noted that the regional tourism authorities in the search for new forms of PR-activity are beginning to use the possibility of the development of event tourism. The Belgorod region is no exception. Event tourism in the Belgorod region is in its infancy. The article highlights the most important events taking place in the territory of the Belgorod region. Despite the apparent activity in this area, a lot of the activities that take place in the regions of our country can hardly be attributed to the field of event tourism. For the most part, it this local events that do not have good policies to promote them, often missing factor of the cyclicity and regularity of their carrying out, not always takes place getting revenue and efficiency of their organization. A lot of events are not generating the tourist flow, because focused on the inhabitants of the territory, rather than tourists. In order to these activities moved into the category of event and would attract tourists to the region, it is necessary to consolidate the efforts of specialists in various spheres, including the sphere of public communication, culture, tourism, regional authorities to solution the urgent tasks of development of event tourism and creating a positive image of Russian regions. The result of this interaction must be not just the festival events but new event tourism products, which will create effect of immersion of tourists in the atmosphere of celebration and will be the points of tourist attraction. With the right approach to the organization of event tourism products successfully solves the problem of socio-cultural formation of the image of the region, not only domestically, but also abroad, and as a consequence, increases the tourist flow and the financial inflow of participants of the tourist market.

Purpose. Consider the problems of a tourist destination on the example of a capital city with an emphasis on the structure, mechanism, basic elements and stages of high-quality tourist services, in the context of the formation of the destination "Kiev" as an element of a modern smart city. Methodology. Analytical, statistical, graphic, systemic and comparative geographical methods were used. Approbation. The main conceptual issues of the formation of tourist destinations and the problems of their accompanying components were studied by domestic scientists(M. Boyko, Y. Zabaldina, A. Mazaraki, S. Melnichenko, I. Smirnov, T. Tkachenko and others) and were tested in the previous works of the authors of this article. Scientific novelty. The communication relationship of tourism service providers with their consumers is dictated by the availability of modern technologies, approaches and methods of forming tourist destinations as components of the smart tourism model. Today, the available theoretical, methodological and practical studies of smart tourism and smart destinations are controversial, given the fact that the scientific literature has not yet formed clearly theoretical constructions that would make it possible to formulate the main components of relationships in a smart destination. In this article, the authors have proposed an algorithm for the formation and development of the capital's smart city, using the example of the Kiev destination. Practical significance. The article raises controversial issues related to the realities of modern life of people in the framework of innovative approaches to the activities of the tourism sector in Ukraine, with its problems, challenges and practical solutions.
