The aim of the study is to reveal the problems of development of the tourist potential of military tourism in Ukraine in modern conditions, including the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic. Research methodology. It consists first of all in finding analysis and generalization of materials of relevant sources in both Ukrainian and foreign languages (English, Polish). The method of comparison is also used, in particular in the characterization of the tourist potential of the Arpad Line and the Molotov Line. Statistical methods were used in the preparation of tables. Results. The research reflects, first, the potential tourist resource of the period of Kamianets-Podilskyi's stay in the status of the capital of the United Ukrainian State (UPR and WUPR) during the liberation struggles of 1917-1920; secondly, the tourist potential of World War II defense facilities on the example of the Arpad Line (which was built by the Hungarians but is now in Ukraine) and the Molotov Line (which was built by the USSR in the then territory of Ukraine, but is now in Poland); thirdly, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the development of the restaurant business as a component of the tourism industry in Ukraine, Kyiv and other cities. Scientific novelty. It consists in characterizing the resource potential of military tourism on the example of Kamianets-Podilskyi, as the capital of United Ukraine during the liberation struggle in 1917-1920, as well as in performing a comparative characteristic of the Arpad Line and the Molotov Line as a resource bases for military tourism development in Ukraine. and neighboring countries (Poland, Hungary). This material is considered in connection with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourism, in particular on the restaurant industry. Practical significance. Implemented through the characterization of events and objects of military history of Ukraine for the development of military tourism as its resource base and more active use in domestic and cross-border tourism exchange, in particular under the Covid-19 pandemic influence. The practical significance of the article is directly related to the development of tourism in Kamianets-Podilskyi, where it is recommended by us to more actively use the past of this city as the capital of the United Ukraine during the liberation struggle for tourism development in the city and Podillya region, in particular in excursion activities (new excursions on relevant topics), military-historical reconstructions and games, etc. with appropriate marketing and advertising support. The same can be recommended in the case of tourist use of the Arpad Line in Ukraine (for Ukrainian, Hungarian and tourists from other countries) and the Molotov Line (to intensify the Ukrainian-Polish tourist trans-border exchange).

Aim: The purpose of the article: To analyze the current state of the transport network development, the index of transport communication, the dynamics of the number of users of mobile communication services, on the example of Kyivstar Company in Ivano-Frankivsk region. Determine the role of transport and mobile networks in promoting and enhancing the development of tourism on the basis of multifunctionality, mutual permeability and complementarity of various elements of socio-economic systems. Methods – the study of communicative and its role in the development of tourism on the example of the Ivano-Frankivsk region is based on the combination of methods of sectoral and territorial analysis. In particular, a systematic approach is used for the study using comparative methods, statistical analysis, analytical analysis, etc. This methodology includes an analysis of the conditions and factors of tourism development within the administrative unit of Ukraine based on statistical data of indicators (types of vehicles and connections, number of arrivals / departures of passengers, directions of tourist flows from / to Ivano-Frankivsk region, etc.). Results – the article analyzes the impact of transport and mobile networks on the development of the tourism industry, for example, Ivano-Frankivsk region. The emphasis is placed on the index of transport communicativeness of the Ivano-Frankivsk region. The analysis of migration monitoring with the help of Kyivstar telecommunication operator was carried out, namely: citizens' migration in Ivano-Frankivsk, duration of their stay, geography of their arrivals. In comparison with the statistical indicators of the state of tourism development, external (country) and internal (oblast) donors of tourists are determined. The influence of communicativeness on the current state of the tourism industry is substantiated. Scientific novelty – for the first time, on the basis of sectoral-territorial analysis the state of development of the tourism industry through the prism of transport and mobile networks has been analyzed. The results of the research may form the basis for writing course papers, theses, preparation of lecture-practical material, monitoring of the national tourism market. Practical significance – materials of the publication, conclusions can be used during the educational process, preparing training for the national tourism industry, the practical activities of tour companies, to popularize the western region of Ukraine, on the example of Ivano-Frankivsk region on the external and internal tourist markets.

The accepted Sustainable Development Goals aim at reorienting the tourism industry to sustainable tourism and enhancing post-industrial tourism. In this case, it is necessary to identify the statistically significant determinants which affect post-industrial tourism development. In this paper, we aim to analyse: (1) the impact of economic and environmental dimensions, and of digital marketing on supporting post-industrial tourism development and (2) the difference between attitude to post-industrial tourism on the gender, age, and education dimensions and digital channels on post-industrial tourism development. The data was collected from questioning 2334 respondents during April–November 2020. The study applied the following methods: frequencies, percentages, t-test, and one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. The findings confirmed the statistically significant impact of the economic and environmental dimensions, as well as digital marketing on post-industrial tourism development. The results of the analysis justified that digital marketing was a catalysator of post-industrial tourism development. In addition, the findings confirmed that there is no difference in attitudes towards post-industrial tourism with respect to the dimensions of age, gender, and education.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to survey the residents’ attitudes on the impact of tourism on Maasai Mara National Reserve and to identify critical issues and tourism development concerns of the Maasai residents associated with the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Methodology: Data for this study was collected from June-October 2015. The participants were residents, 18 and older, from three group ranches. Data were collected using single-stage cluster sampling to identify three group ranches, Koyiaki, Olkinyei, and Siana, in the Maasai Mara region. A semi-structured, open-ended questionnaire was used for face-to-face and photo-elicitation interviews of 24 respondents. Data were subsequently analysed using the Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) technique. Main Findings: The study identified six overarching themes; conservation, cultural change, community development, employment, livestock, and small business. This study found that residents perceived tourism with mixed feelings, both negative and positive. More specifically, residents living closer to the tourism destination experienced direct and tangible benefits as compared to those who live far away. Applications of this study: The results of this study are important for tourism planners, practitioners, and conservation managers in developing holistic strategies that promote sustainable tourism development in the Mara region of Kenya. Novelty/Originality of this study: The success of the tourism industry depends on the involvement of the local people. Lack of cooperation of the local communities in tourism development projects could lead to anger and mistrust, influencing perceptions of tourism and its three basic areas of benefits and costs: social, environmental, and economic. This study, for the first time, attempted to describe the resident’s attitudes towards tourism development in the Mara, results which can be used to improve the participation of local residents to ensure sustainable tourism development in destinations.

The tourism industry has been gravely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, the purpose of this study was to explore residents’ support for sustainable tourism development in an integrative model that considered well-established factors and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Addressing various research gaps caused by the pandemic, this study aimed to examine a model based on eight hypotheses. Using the premises of a cross-sectional study, data was gathered from residents from Sibiu. Data analysis implied various steps to provide an accurate understanding of the hypotheses and the model was developed based on structural equation modeling. Considering the results of hypothesis testing, our study reconfirmed the applicability of social exchange theory in describing residents’ attitudes toward tourism development and positioned quality of life as an important predictor for this construct. Also, the outcomes highlighted a negative relationship between the host community’s perceptions of the coronavirus pandemic and their subsequent support for sustainable tourism development. Overall, the results focused on offering contributions for a better understanding of residents’ behavior and the influence of the COVID-19 outbreak on their support for sustainable tourism development. The conceptual and practical ramifications of the study were addressed in the article’s conclusion.

Problems of efficiency of tourism development for the urban economy should be considered on the basis of a systematic approach, which involves the establishment of different criteria and indicators for different levels of government, as well as a hierarchy of goals and corresponding efficiency criteria. Based on the analysis, the article summarizes the concept of "tourist potential of the city". It is determined that the main components of tourist potential are resource, economic and social potential. The main methods of determining the tourist potential are identified, including expert, comparative, cartographic, technological, aesthetic methods of analysis. The directions of tourism impact on the economy of the territory are considered. Direct and indirect effects, as well as induced effects of tourism development are considered separately. The interrelation and interaction of different spheres of the city economy and tourism are shown. In the analysis it is necessary to consider significant sectors of the urban economy: hotel, construction, catering, retail, tour operators, industry, wholesale, housing and communal services, communications, transport, insurance and banking, medicine, education and others. To calculate the gross tourist product, calculate the sum of all costs incurred for the production of tourist goods and services for a certain period. These are the costs of tourist consumption, private and public tourism investments. In addition, calculate the amount of all income from the sale of tourist goods and services for a certain period. This income from the sale of tourist goods and services, income from renting rooms, apartments, etc. The use of a multiplier to determine the impact of tourism development on the city economy is proposed. The calculation of tourism multipliers involves determining the total income from the tourism industry and related infrastructure. Comprehensive assessment allows to identify the economic level of tourism development in the territory, the effect, and is also the basis for justification and management decisions. The study showed that in the modern scientific literature there are several types of multipliers. These are multipliers of income, employment, investment, commercial operations, production and sales. The foreign experience of assessment of social and economic effects from the development of the tourist sphere is analyzed and the possibility of its use in the conditions of Ukraine is substantiated. Keywords: tourist potential of the city, direct and indirect effects, multiplier.

Prior studies have suggested the existence of a reverse causality relationship between air quality and tourism development: while air quality influences tourism, dynamic segments of the tourism industry (e.g., cruising, airline, foodservice) have impacts on air quality. This reverse causality hinders a precise estimate on the effect of air pollution on tourism development within a conventional econometric framework, since the variable of air pollution is endogenous. This study estimates the impact of air pollution on the inbound tourism industry in China, by controlling for endogeneity based on a regression discontinuity design (RDD). The estimate is derived from a quasi-experiment generated by China’s Huai River Policy, which subsidizes coal for winter heating in northern Chinese cities. By analyzing data from 274 Chinese cities during the period 2009–2012, it is found that air pollution significantly reduces the international inbound tourism: an increase of PM 10 (particulate matter smaller than 10 μ m) by 0.1 mg/m 3 will cause a decline in the tourism receipts-to-local gross domestic product (GDP) ratio by 0.45 percentage points. This study also highlights the importance of controlling for endogeneity, since the detrimental impact of air pollution would otherwise be considerably underestimated. This study further demonstrates that, although air pollution is positively correlated with the average expenditure of each tourist, it substantially depresses the number of inbound tourists. The results imply that air quality could potentially influence inbound tourists’ city destination choices. However, it is interesting to note that travelers in air polluted cities in China tend to spend more money.

The article analyzes the impact of tourism on improving investment climate in the region. The main factors of investment attractiveness of the developing areas of tourism are considered, among which the ability of the tourism industry to develop on almost any site with a variety of conditions and resources of activity that is related to diversity of tourist activities; and the multiplier effect of tourism development which contributes to the development of related sectors of activity. The article presents the results of a study of various aspects of the formation of the national innovation system for the development of tourism. In particular, characterized are the features of the implementation of the cluster approach to the development of tourism in the territories of the Russian Federation, among which the most outstanding are: the lack of experience in the implementation of the cluster approach or unsuccessful attempts to copy foreign experience; priority areas in the development of only one type of clusters — the territorial-production; imperfection of the regulatory framework. These problems, according to the authors, exist along with the typical problems of tourism clusters, which include inadequate specialized infrastructure and services; the poor state of the key tourist sites; failure to comply with quality standards (or their absence) for services offered to tourists. According to the analysis of the legal documentation in the tourism sector of the Russian Federation and monitoring of the development of tourist areas in the article substantiated is the conclusion about the need to tough public policy, defining legal boundaries and strategic guidelines for the development of tourism on the innovative type, as well as the need to adjust the existing practice of tourism territories, which currently does not increase the investment attractiveness of regions.

This article represents current tendencies stemming from collapse in the price of oil, devaluation of the national currency, bilateral international sanctions after the accession of Crimea and events in Ukraine, the aggravation of political situation and closure of the main areas of outbound tourism, namely Turkey and Egypt. Such negative situation for the country in whole has some positive aspects of the impact on internal tourism development, especially in regions with favorable climatic conditions and developed material basis for the tourism industry. Primarily Kuban is among these regions. The region for decades has been asserting as a tourism and recreation complex with a unique specialization in sanatorium-and-spa treatment. It has great social and economic potential, developed infrastructure, natural conditions for the international specialization in tourism and for high-quality rest and treatment of Russian citizens. However, the analysis showed that advances in this direction are insufficient. Even with the favorable impact of external factors many development indicators of the region’s tourism industry in the pre-crisis time are lower than in 2005. The high cost of services that is beyond reach for many Russian citizens is one of the important obstacles for tourism development. Hotel services and usage of the sports infrastructure in Sochi and Krasnaya Polyana are more expensive than in foreign resorts, but are inferior in services, for example, to Austrian Innsbruck. The state regulation of the tourism industry, definition of the strategic objectives and development of mechanisms to achieve them are in need. Spontaneous development of the complex can cause damage and prevent to use region’s temporary factors and advantages in a difficult period for the country.

Formulation of the problem. World history contains many sad facts related to political conflicts, which over time turn into open armed confrontation within individual regions of different countries. Reintegration of such territories into the socio-economic system of the country may remain an impossible task, so determining the prospects for the development of the region with the help of leading sectors of the economy, in particular tourism, is an urgent problem. The aim of the research: analysis of existing international experience, determination of economic and social prerequisites for the development of post-conflict territories by tourism means on the example of eastern Ukraine. The subject of the research: theoretical and applied aspects of using tourism industry tools for the development of post-conflict territories. The methods of the research: systematic approach, structural-logical and statistical analysis, synthesis, generalization. The hypothesis of the research: involves the use of an approach whereby tourism development is considered as an alternative strategy for restoring socio-economic well-being for the region's inhabitants. The statement of basic materials: review of previous research and current historical facts about solving the problems of post-conflict territories revealed four negative and four positive prerequisites, the existence of which substantiates the expediency of using tourism industry tools for the development of such problem regions. The originality and practical significance of the research: the results of this study, conducted according to the data of Lugansk and Donetsk region, prove that tourism will not become a leading sector of economy for these regions, but its intra-regional development will be a catalyst for recovery of other economy branches. Conclusions and prospects for further research: given the existing skepticism about tourism development opportunities in the Donbas, the following studies will focus on the reasonable feasibility of developing certain tourism types in this region of our country.

The article examines the role of the tourism industry in creating new jobs in the regions and increasing the welfare of the population. The multiplicative effect of the tourism industry is expressed in the active development of related sectors of the national economy. The spillover effect of tourism spending on the region’s economy can be estimated using an “input-output” model. The paper provides an algorithm for determining the impact of changes in tourism spending on gross output by industry, income and employment in the region. Studies have shown that the development of tourism in St. Petersburg leads to an uneven formation of output, income and employment in various sectors of the region’s economy. The development of the concept of sustainable tourism development should be based on an assessment of the socio-economic state and prospects for the development of the tourism industry. The methodology, which includes an assessment of the resource and throughput potential, is most fully consistent with the principles of the concept of sustainable tourism development. Application of the World Bank methodology for the development of the adjusted net savings index. It allows you to internalize the external costs of economic activity associated with negative impacts on ecosystems and public health, which are an underestimated value in models of sustainable tourism development. The combination of this methodology with traditional multifactor models for assessing the level of tourism development will allow a more targeted approach to the choice of mechanisms and objects of state regulation at the regional levels within the framework of indicative planning.
