Объектом исследования являются современное состояние и перспективы дальнейшего развития основных видов религиозного туризма в Тверской области. Цель статьи - с помощью современных методов регионально-экономических исследований представить модель комплексного анализа религиозно-туристской отрасли в регионе, обладающем высоким и разнообразным потенциалом для ее развития. С помощью расчетов коэффициентов неравномерности и преимущества авторами выделены основные районы Тверской области, образующие центр, полупериферию и периферию развития религиозного туризма. На примере анализа деятельности, обусловленной включением в маршруты религиозного туризма одной из доминант и аттрактивных центров его развития - Нило-Столобенской пустыни, обосновывается влияние данной отрасли на другие виды экономической деятельности региона. Рассматриваются направления религиозного предпринимательства (производство пищевых продуктов, ювелирных изделий), импульсом к развитию которых послужил религиозный туризм. Преимущества для развития религиозного туризма на территории Тверской области, а также угрозы для его функционирования в регионе выявлены с помощью SWOT-анализа. Результаты представленной статьи могут послужить разработке дальнейшей стратегии религиозного туризма. Их использование допустимо не только применительно к Тверской области, но и к другим регионам, обладающим высоким потенциалом для развития религиозного туризма. Результаты исследования представляют интерес не только для государственных органов, в задачу которых входит разработка и стратегия развития туризма, но для миссионерских отделов митрополий Русской Православной Церкви, паломнических служб и организаций, реализующих туры религиозного тематического содержания. The object of the research is the current state and prospects for the further development of the main types of religious tourism in the Tver region. The purpose of the article is, using modern methods of regional economic research, to present a model for a comprehensive analysis of the religious and tourism industry in a region that has a high and diverse potential for its development. By calculating the coefficients of unevenness and advantages, the authors have identified the main areas of the Tver region, which form the center, semi-periphery and periphery of the development of religious tourism. On the example of the analysis of activities due to the inclusion in the routes of religious tourism, one of the dominants and attractive centers of its development - the Nilo-Stolbenskaya desert, the influence of this industry on other types of economic activities of the region is substantiated. The directions of religious entrepreneurship (production of food products, jewelry), the impetus for the development of which were served by religious tourism, are considered. The advantages for the development of religious tourism in the Tver region, as well as the threats to its functioning in the region, were identified using SWOT analysis. The results of the presented article can serve to develop a further strategy for religious tourism. Their application in this regard is permissible not only for the Tver region, but also for other regions with high potential for the development of religious tourism. The results of the study are of interest not only for government agencies whose task is to develop and develop a tourism development strategy, but for the missionary departments of the metropolises of the Russian Orthodox Church, pilgrim services and organizations that implement tours of religious thematic content.

This article is part of an international relations study conducted by the authors. This study aims to illustrate the extent to which Indonesia can get out of the “entanglement” of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the tourism industry sector. Another purpose of writing this article is to analyze the Indonesian government’s role in using the term “new normal” and its relation to sustainable tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended. Tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic is the focus of the discussion of this article because it is one of the industries most harmed by this pandemic. Globally the loss of world tourism reaches US$22 billion. This figure will continue to increase as long as this pandemic cannot be controlled through vaccines and drugs. No exception for Indonesia, which lost the country’s original income from this sector, reaching tens of trillions of rupiah in just four months since WHO announced COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The new normal situation during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity as well as a challenge for world tourism in general and Indonesian tourism in particular. The change in lifestyle and habits of the community in traveling directly or indirectly has “hit” this industry very hard. Undeniably, reactivating tourism industry activities do have considerable risk, but on the other hand, many sectors depend on this industry. Cleanliness, Health, Safety, Environment Sustainability (CHSE) strategy conducted by the Indonesian government is one of the efforts in re-mobilizing Indonesia’s tourism sector amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the opportunity to apply three main principles of sustainable tourism in the new normal era, namely involving the social sector in policy engagement, maintaining the sustainability of natural resources and making sustainable development a synonym of economic growth.

Abstract The travel and tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the world. In the case of countries like Georgia, where tourism is a priority sector of the economy, innovation is crucial for a tourism-based development strategy — and this has become particularly important in the post-pandemic realities. This paper proposes a certain framework for understanding the possibilities for harnessing technological innovations in the travel industry (particularly apps and websites). It then considers the specific example of the country of Georgia, outlining the state’s measures meant to foster IT innovation in tourism and also certain moderate successes to date in this respect. Next, the paper looks to Russian tourist-sector start-ups as models for operation that be successfully harnessed in the Georgian tourism industry, examining several such Russian start-ups in closer detail.

International and European tourism underwent a constant and almost unprecedented development in the last decades. In 2018, international tourism displayed the ninth year of consecutive growth that exceeded even the increase of world GDP according to UNWTO data. This ascending trend continued in 2019, and the perspectives were promising according to predictions. The beginning of 2020 brought with it the outspread of a global pandemic and one of the most sensitive industries proved to be the industry of tourism and travel. The pandemic is from this perspective an opportunity for reconsidering the criteria for ensuring sustainable tourism while it proved the frailty of the entire tourism sector. The paper presents a brief analysis of the developments in international tourism, especially regarding European tourism in the pre-pandemic context. It is based on the principles of sustainability that should govern this industry and perceive the opportunities or threats of this pandemic. Regarding the methodology, we used the main available data and discussed the current analytical prediction models, because COVID-19 has changed and will continue to change the tourism industry.

However, Cambodia still lack of physical infrastructure, and the existing infrastructure is in poor state [1] For instate, the National road and Provincial road are paved with mostly DBST and concrete, but rural road mostly paved with literal and earth. Some national road can stand with bother raining and dry season, but rural road can be use only dry season. Most of National Road networks have been rehabilitated and are now in good condition. In contrast, rural road network of approximately 33,005 km is still paved by earth. Rural road connecting economic activities from rural area to urban through connecting with provincial road and national road. The bad health of rural road will reduce chance for rural people from gaining benefit from economic growth.   [1] Sum, M. (2008), ‘Infrastructure Development in Cambodia’, in Kumar, N.

The book presents a comprehensive study of the formation, development and crisis of the tourism industry in China. Particular attention is paid to the interdisciplinary analysis of tourism policy in its relationship with the geopolitics and geoeconomics of the country. The approaches, strategies and forecasts of sector recovery in the context of a pandemic have been studied. The economic consequences of COVID-19 in the tourism sector of China and in the main destinations of the Chinese tourist flow are examined in detail. Practical recommendations are given on the use of Chinese experience for the restoration of tourism in the Russian Federation. In 1950-1980 the Chinese authorities considered the tourism industry as an integral part of the country's foreign policy, in 1980-2020 its economic component came to the fore. In the medium to long term, China will seek to combine the benefits of both periods. In a post-crisis society, the country's tourism industry will not only bring economic benefits, but also contribute to the implementation of the political course.
