World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is the major source of internationally comparable data on tourism. However, UNWTO data has two drawbacks: it focuses on international trips and ignores differences between regions within individual countries. Alternative sources of big data are increasingly used to enhance tourism statistics. In this paper, we combine traditional information sources with gridded population dataset and Airbnb data to address the limitations of UNWTO statistics. We produce a map of world tourism destinations measured by the number of tourism visits and tourism expenditure in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. We then identify hot spots of tourism and compare the level of spatial concentration of tourism to that of global population and economy. The results illustrate how supply and demand shape the global distribution of tourism, highlight the dominance of domestic travels in global tourism mobility and may help planning tourism policy in the face of current global challenges.

The global tourism industry may provide millions of jobs and billions of enjoyable days for travellers and holiday-makers, but it also requires ethical consideration. This chapter starts by examining the ethics of global tourism around two questions: Firstly, are some tourist destinations unethical? Secondly, are some forms of tourism unethical? These two thematic presentations, based on many examples and controversies, are followed by a short discussion of two key concepts which help conceptualize the ethics of global tourism: exploitation and sustainability. The adoption of a Global Code of Ethics for Tourism by the United Nations World Tourism Organization in 1999, the publication of articles) and then books about tourism ethics, the implementation of corporate social responsibility policies in the tourist industry, as well as the increasing demand for ethical tourism products all show that ethics has now entered global tourism, both in practice and in theory.

In our country, the legislative and regulatory framework is deve-loping (the laws of Ukraine «On Tourism», «On Resorts» and other legislative acts, decrees of the President and resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers), the national tourism industry is being built according to world standards (State programs for the development of tourism), which make it possible to implement state tourism policy and influence the formation of the national tourism market. The international recognition of Ukraine as a tourist state is fixed by its admission to the World Tourism Organization (WTO), which now has 158 member countries, and by the election of the first among the CIS countries to the Executive Council of the WTO.The inclusion of Ukraine in the global tourism process, the development of the tourism industry and the activities of the subjects of the tourism market require scientific substantiation of the directions of development and problems of the geospatial organization of national tourism on the basis of generalizing world trends and their scientific understanding.Keywords:recreation, tourism, services, tourist animation, leisure, factors of tourism development, infrastructure.
