The article aims at formulating a concept for the social tourism development strategy in Ukraine, taking into account the European experience and national realities. The article proves that the main function of social tourism is to create and maintain appropriate conditions that allow people to participate in the tourism process, i.e. provide them with access to recreation and the effective recovery of physical, emotional and spiritual strength. The study presents a generalized structure of the social tourism system in Europe, enumerating the supply and demand factors together with their key elements. Based on foreign experience, the work identifies three main systems of social tourism services, such as: specialized accommodation; holiday checks; charitable donations. The article suggests a concept for social tourism development strategy in Ukraine, providing for a number of measures to form social tourism in Ukraine. To specify the measures needed, it is necessary to use the SWOT-analysis data and results. It has been found out that these measures comprise several groups, such as: organizational measures; measure related to participants’ work in social tourism; specific steps for social tourism promotion. The author comes to conclusion that social tourism can be considered the basis for domestic tourism development in a country, because a high development rate of domestic tourist flows will provide a new qualitative level of development for the national tourism industry, which, in turn, will contribute to placing the focus of tourism on tourists, both domestic and foreign ones.

PurposeThe objective of this study was to analyze the evolution of tourism competitiveness over the years, ascertaining the state of the art and the degree of consensus among scholars on its constituent elements to propose an integrative and updated concept.Design/methodology/approachA set of 130 definitions on tourism competitiveness formulated between 1999–2018 was analyzed and segmented into three periods, allowing its historical evolution to be ascertained. It is a qualitative and quantitative exploratory research that uses a combination of techniques, namely, content analysis, analysis of co-words and consensus analysis.FindingsThe results indicated a low use of elements such as the quality of life and the environment in the authors' definitions during 1999–2018, although these elements were present in the first concept of tourism competitiveness by Crouch and Ritchie (1999, 2003). Another finding of this study shows a reduction in the analysis of tourism competitiveness based on the supply and demand side. Nowadays, the research tends to turn on the basis of the population directly affected. It also reveals the enrichment of the theoretical corpus with new lines of research arising and new groups of scholars of the subject, consequently a new frontier in tourism competitiveness.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors recommend deepening the analysis in each category of conceptual elements of tourism competitiveness to identify the origins of the low consensus. The authors also suggest conducting further research on the largest invisible schools of thought on this subject to understand their relations and perspectives, and thus to advance in the theoretical streams of the field. Finally, it is imperative to develop research on new models and monitors of tourism competitiveness that meet its renewed concept and integrate dimensions to consider the perspective of supply, demand, tourists and residents, as well as not excluding the economic bias but including the social side.Practical implicationsOwing to the fact that monitors of tourism competitiveness have practically no variables related to the social, most of the surveys are carried out from the supply or demand perspective, leaving the resident distant from the process. In this way, the results allow authors to indicate that new models of competitiveness measurement should be formulated based on the vision of the community impacted by tourism, i.e. a new version of tourism competitiveness not based on productivity but rather on the social aspect.Originality/valueThe findings of this study contribute to the field literature by offering an integrative concept of tourism competitiveness based on the elements with a higher level of consensus among researchers. Furthermore, the results accentuate a worrying fact regarding the operationalization of this concept, as the theoretical basis is not expressed in the monitors of competitiveness. Thus, nor it is possible in the management of the tourism industry.

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.

AbstractTourist activity in the Republic of Croatia is one of the leading and most promising activities. It is our past, present and future. According to the National Bank, the share of revenues from travel - tourism in overall GDP in the first 9 months of 2015 was 22.2%, an increase of 1.2% compared to the same period in 2014. In the third quarter share of revenues from travel - tourism in total GDP amounted to 41.3%, as compared to the same period in 2014, representing a growth of 1.4%. The conclusion is that tourism is one of the leading economic sectors in the Republic of Croatia. Due to realized 78 million and 569,000 overnight stays (6.8% more than in 2014) and more than 8 billion of foreign exchange inflows, the Republic of Croatia on the overall tourism market has been recognized as an important destination whose development potentials have not yet been exhausted. Relevant institutions and predictions underline the fact that tourism is one of the keys for faster integration of Croatia in the entire world economy and the networked society, from which it can be read that Croatia must view this sector in a new way and allow tourism to undergo complete transformation, in order to cope with future competitive challenges more easily. According to estimates by the World Travel & Tourism Council direct and indirect employment in the tourism sector in 2008 was about 300,000 employees, but that number will have increased by additional 100,000 in the next ten years. The Croatian tourism today employs 35-40% of workers. Thus, the tourism industry is a comprehensive and a very important generator of jobs of different profiles - from catering and hotel industry to entertainment and animation. In the light of progress in the development of tourism, and regardless of specific personnel, Croatia still needs a lot of work on the construction of the existing profile of tourism personnel and management and educate the tourist interest in tourism future. In addition, employment in the hospitality and tourism industry has a very high seasonal fluctuation of work, while the proportion of highly educated so-called senior managers is weak due to the contemporary needs of the tourism of the 21st century. The system of education for tourism is not performed well at all levels of education, and the result is inadequate qualifications. On the other hand, salaries of employees in the tourism industry, especially in the hospitality and catering industry, are among the lowest in the Republic of Croatia. With its tourism development strategy, the Republic of Croatia has turned towards building quality destinations (new facilities, renovation of existing and quality services). This paper will analyze how the quality of services, backed by human activity, is the key to the success of any enterprise, with an adopted conclusion about what kind of future we are building in this segment. The research will be carried out through the review and analysis of trends in employment in the tourism industry, the qualifying term structure of employees, their share in the total employees in the Republic of Croatia, the competitiveness in the international labor market for a period of last 5 years.
