Tourism is a profitable sector of the economy, which, despite all current challenges, is rapidly developing and prioritized for the development of economic, social and cultural realms in many countries. Leading positions in international tourism are occupied by European countries, in particular Italy. The article analyzes the current state and territorial features of tourism development in Italy, considering natural, historical and cultural tourist recourses and country hotel fund. The analysis bases on such key indicators as the tourism contribution to gross domestic product, the tourism contribution to employment, the tourism capital investments, the tourism inbound (foreign) and outbound (abroad) volume, the international tourism receipts. The geographical structure of tourist flows in Italy is considered. The country has a considerable territorial differentiation in terms of tourism development. An integral index was calculated for Italy regions to evaluate tourism development level with subsequent classification of regions according to this indicator. The calculated indices allowed delimiting of the six groups of regions with high, higher than average, medium, lower than average, low and very low tourism development levels respectively. The features of tourism development in the regions of each group are revealed. In particular, the highest intensity of tourist arrivals is observed in the alpine regions of the country, which specialize in ski tourism. The high level of tourism development is also typical for the northern and central regions of the country. The lowest intensity of tourism is observed in the south-eastern regions of the country. In general, contemporary tourist development of the country is characterized with annual growth in the number of tourist arrivals, significant revenues from the tourism industry, positive balance of tourist flows, high share of tourism in the country’s GDP, formation of world-famous centers of tourism, high tourist rates. All this indicates that Italy remains one of the tourism leaders in the international tourism market.

The article highlights the geopolitical aspects of the international tourism development in Ukraine as a global phenomenon that carries out economic, social and international and political action. In today's world, tourism has become a powerful industry, a huge complex in which the economic and social spheres are connected. The importance of tourism in international economic activity is constantly growing, and the market itself is acquiring new trends and features, affecting trade, transport and communications, agriculture and construction. The processes of globalization in the tourism market are characterized by changes in technology, modernization of transport infrastructure, internationalization of business activity and the creation of a regulatory mechanism. The potential of world tourist flows as factors of geopolitical influence is revealed, the structure of which reflects and influences the tendencies of international interaction. The main geopolitical factors influencing the dynamics and spatial organization of international tourist flows are structured. The world market of tourist services has a clear segmentation character. The main criteria for segmentation are motivational, age and regional ones. The general tendencies of development of the international tourism, a role and a place of Ukraine in the international tourist market are characterized. It is predicted that China will become the most popular tourist country in the near future. It is determined that due to the growth of intercontinental ties, which is based on the rapid development of vehicles and, above all, jet aircraft, as well as the desire of a significant number of people to visit the most remote and exotic corners of the Earth, tourism exchange between regions will develop more intensively than within regions. However, there is a growing tendency to increase the exchange of tourists between neighboring countries under conditions of normal relations between them and between countries with related languages. The main world events that have affected tourist flows in recent years are listed: Brexit, COVID-19, military actions in Eastern Ukraine and others. The analysis of international tourist flows in Ukraine was done, in particular their dynamics and spatial structure during 2010-2019 in the context of military-political aggression by Russia and the aggravation of Ukrainian-Russian interstate relations. It is established that the current dynamics of the international tourist flow in Ukraine is characterized by a sharp decrease in international visitors, slowing down the development of tourism and reformatting the spatial structure of the incoming and outgoing tourist flow. It is also noted that among the main factors hindering the development of the Ukrainian tourism industry are the unsatisfactory state of development of infrastructure and logistics of tourism, high prices, environmental and criminal risks, low innovation activity of tourism enterprises. It is concluded that international tourism is not only a passive participant in international relations, but also an active political actor who is able to act as a channel for establishing international trust and cooperation, a factor in maintaining political stability.

The article is devoted to the study of current problems and possible ways of the development, as well as optimization of the international market of tourist services in Ukraine during and after the global crisis connected with the COVID-19 pandemic. The comprehensive analysis of the development of international tourism in Ukraine has been carried out. The main problems in the legislative framework of Ukraine about the lack of full support for the development of international tourism industry in Ukraine have been identified. It is noted that the lack of a single state target program for tourism development over the past ten years was one of the main negative factors that directly affected the systemic work of the main executive department of Ukraine to ensure state policy in tourism – State Agency for Tourism Development of Ukraine (SATD), and, accordingly, the work of regional and local departments on tourism. The author analyzes the cancelation of licensing of travel agency activities in Ukraine, on the basis of which the relevant conclusions were made. The abolition of licensing of travel agency activities in Ukraine has been analyzed, on the basis of which certain conclusions have been drawn. It is concluded that the licensing of travel agency activities in Ukraine was an effective mechanism for identifying professionals in the tourism market and a deter-rent to the penetration of unreliable companies into the market and, as a result, low-quality travel services. It is substantiated that in order to ensure the effectiveness of cooperation between tour operators and travel agents in terms of revoking licensing, may be a scheme of franchising, which is quite popular in many countries, as well as the creation of major tour operators own network (agencies) of retail tours. The need to strengthen the role of the state in solving problems and developing the tourism industry in the post-crisis period is noted. The analysis of the latest data of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) allowed us to draw some conclusions about the effects of the COVID-19 virus on international tourism. Thus, the study showed that one of the effective options for the development of international tourism business for many countries is to support the development of domestic tourism.Keywords: international tourism, tourism industry, government politics, tourism, crisis, marketing, COVID-19. Стаття присвячена дослідженню актуальних проблем та можливих шляхів розвитку та оптимізації міжнародного ринку туристичних послуг в Україні в часи та після глобальної кризи, пов’язаною із пандемією COVID-19. Проведено комплексне аналізування розвитку міжнародного туризму в Україні. Виявлено основні проблеми у законодавчій базі України стосовно відсутності повноцінної підтримки розвитку міжнародного туризму в державі. Проаналізовано скасування ліцензування діяльності туристичних агенцій в Україні, на основі чого було зроблено ґрунтовні висновки. Зроблено висновок про те, що ліцензування діяльності туристичних агенцій в Україні є дієвим механізмом виявлення знавців та професіоналів туристичного ринку і стримуючим фактором для проникнення на ринок ненадійних компаній і, як наслідок, неякісних туристичних послуг. Наголошується на необхідності посилення ролі держави у вирішенні проблем та розвитком туристичної галузі у посткризовий період. Ключові слова: міжнародний туризм, туристична галузь, державна політика, туризм, криза, маркетинг, COVID-19.

The article notes that the modern world is on the verge of environmental crisis. This is due to the moral and spiritual crisis of humanity and a consumer attitude to nature. Against this background, the public increasingly began to turn to the idea of soul ecology, or “protection of the soul from pollutions”. Expertly-organized tourism can educate a responsible person. Usually the ecology of the soul associated with eco-tourism. But the authors believe that a fairy-tale tourism can be also engaged in moral and spiritual upbringing with great success. The article analyzes the domestic experience of creating a fairy-tale tourism infrastructure, identifies strengths and weaknesses of this work in different regions of Russia, and presents the information about the possibility of fabulous tourism development in the framework of the project “Fairytale Map of Russia”. The authors study organizational aspect of the problem, and reveal the most effective methods of popularization of the fairy-tale direction of tourism and the proven ways of involving tourists in the fairy-tale environment. The article characterizes the factors negative affecting the fabulous tourism development. The authors found out that not all regions, identified in the project “Fairytale Map of Russia” and oriented to travel in a fairy tale, have managed to organize tourist flows. This happens mainly due to the small number of thematic objects and the inability to create routes, but also because of the lack of interactive programs. Special attention is paid to the state of fabulous infrastructure in Ufa, the capital Bashkiria. Ufa – small motherland of S. T. Aksakov, the author of the famous tale “The Scarlet flower”. This fact became the basis to include our city in the project “Fairytale Map of Russia” as “the house” of the scarlet flower. However, Ufa is one of the cities, having solitary monuments of fabulous characters who are unable to determine the prospects of development of regional fairy-tale tourism. In addition, Ufa has not yet engaged in the creation of interactive programs, providing a high level of interest in the fairy-tale tourism.

In the developed countries, tourism is an important source of income and wellbeing improvement. In Ukraine, with all its incredibly rich historic heritage and priceless recreation and spa resorts resources, tourism is developing mostly as an outbound one. Under hard modern political-economic situation of Ukraine, with all its financial problems, issues of the situation on the international tourism market and its future changes under COVID-19 epidemics, the place of tourism in the national economic policy are critically urgent and are partially examined in the article. The objective of the research is to reveal the issues of nature, importance, modern state and prospects of international tourism development in the economic policy of Ukraine under COVID-19 epidemics. Currently, tourism industry is a one of the forms of international service trade, which is rapidly developing. In the past 20 years, the average growth rate of newly arriving foreign tourists in the world constituted 5,1%, while currency incomes accounted for about 14%. In 2019, by the UNWTO data, international tourist arrivals reached 1,5 billion which is the tenth year of positive dynamics in a row for the global tourism. The expert’s forecasts for 2020 about the rates and dynamics of international tourism development were rather optimistic and expected its rapid growth for the next years. However, COVID-19 epidemics modified the existing forecasts and plans and radically changed forever the industry’s development. By the latest UNWTO data, global tourism has live through the worst year ever in 2020, the number of international tourists declined by 74%. Tourist destinations in the whole world earned 1 billion less in 2020 that a year before because of the unprecedented drop of demand and restriction imposed on travels. By the experts assessment, export incomes of the international tourism amount to about 1,3 trillion dollars. The international tourism crisis caused by COVID-19 epidemics put at risk 100-120 million jobs in tourism and supporting industries, most of which are small and medium sized businesses. It is even harder to evaluate money lost by state budgets in the forms of uncollected taxes and other payments. The COVID-19 epidemics impact on the international tourism in Ukraine is not as dramatic as in some tourism-focused countries because Ukrainian economy is in a comparatively better state, since the share of domestic and outbound tourism is much higher that the inbound one. Governments of the most countries immediately responded to the acute need of minimizing the economic consequences of COVID-19 epidemics. Among the suggested scenarios of preventing the negative impact of the epidemics on the economic situation, countries used following two approaches: first – aimed at providing affordable credit lines for businesses, the second one has to work out after postponing payments of debt and tax obligations.

The article reveals the tourist activity of the population of Chernivtsi oblast, as an important indicator of the development of the tourism industry. It is proposed to define it, as the ratio of the number of domestic and foreign tourists to the total population of the region. The peculiarities of its change during 2005-2018 are analyzed and the influence of socio-economic factors and processes on the tourist activity of the population is determined. Introduction. Tourism and recreation are important components of the economic complex of the region and play an important role in building economic potential. At the same time, this branch of the economy largely reflects the socio-economic processes taking place in the study area, as well as the living standards of the population. One of the most important factors of their development is the tourist activity of the population of the region. Tourist activity is one of the most important indicators that reflect the level of tourism development in the region. It reveals the population’s level of consumption of tourist and recreational services, as well as its consumption opportunities, which is an important indicator of the level of development of the recreational and tourist complex of the region. Therefore, the study of tourist activity is relevant. Presentation of the main results of the study. The ratio of the number of tourist trips made by the population of the region in relation to its total number is understood under the tourist activity of the population. Thus, the tourist activity of the population is formed only by the inhabitants of the region engaged in domestic and foreign tourism. In order to assess the tourist activity of the population of the region, it is necessary to determine the coefficient of tourist activity of the population. Socio-economic factors are crucial for the formation of tourist activity of the population. The most important among them are: - the general state of economic development of the region. The development of tourism depends on the characteristics and rates of economic growth. Accelerated economic development leads to increased employment, contributes to the growth of real incomes, which creates favorable conditions for the formation of additional demand for tourism products. - a significant factor that significantly affects the tourist activity of the population in international tourism is the devaluation of the national currency. The influence of this factor is expressed in the depreciation of the national currency against foreign. This leads to an increase in the cost of foreign tourist travel in the national currency, which in turn leads to a decrease in the number of tourists who can make tourist trips outside Ukraine. - inflation processes also have a significant impact on international tourism. Inflation is a decrease in the purchasing power of the national currency due to rising prices. As a result of inflation, there is a significant increase in prices for consumer goods. This leads to a significant increase in spending on them, and, as a consequence, to a reduction in the funds that the population can spend on tourism and recreation. Conclusions. So the pace of international tourism development significantly depends on the socio-economic processes taking place in the region. Currently, Chernivtsi oblast, as well as Ukraine in general, is in the phase of reforming socio-economic relations. The main purpose of the declared economic reforms is to solve the problems of socio-economic development and to significantly increase the living standards.
