Malaysia offers a rich potpourri of delicious cuisines from diverse ethnicity. However, not much attention given to promote Malaysian food and the food seems to be ignored in the tourism industry. Furthermore, the concept of utilizing Malaysian food as a marketing means is tenuous. In this chapter, the image dimensions of Malaysian food and the effect of food images on tourists' satisfaction are discussed. Additionally, the influence of socio-demographic factors on tourists' perceived image is deliberated. Univariate and multivariate statistics are used to describe the obtained findings. The results of the study will significantly fill in the gap in the literature about Malaysian food's image and the potential of Malaysia being promoted as a food destination. Additionally, the results would indisputably provide better insight to the tourism and hospitality industry on the perceptions of international tourists towards Malaysian food and Malaysia as a food tourism destination.

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.

In modern world, also in Russia, tourism is dynamic, independent branch of the economy. The tourism expands the boundaries of commercial offers and deepens specialization. Landscape, environment and space are the foundation for the tourism development. The potential of Russia's tourism industry, as one of the most important factors of regional development, is still underestimated. Many of landscape and cultural features remain unnoticed and unused. The tourism development in small cities is very important, since they have a valuable historical and cultural heritage, they are an important source of improving the welfare of the country. This territory can be represented as a system that opens great opportunities for knowledge about the history, culture, customs, spiritual and religious values of small cities in Russia. The article is dedicated to the regional features of tourism development in small historical cities of Russia. Nowadays the government has a great deal of attention to the development of tourism in the Russian Federation, in particular, the article discusses the federal programs that are currently being implemented. Many small cities have historical status now. The modern development of tourism in small historical cities was promoted by an increase of people's interest in their historical heritage, their past. This type of tourism is especially important for the preservation of the individuality of the peoples of the Russian Federation, their involvement in the world civilization. Creation in 2007 of the Association of Small Tourist Cities confirms this. The peculiarity of each of the cities is the perfectly preserved appearance of their historical part with a lot of unique monuments of architecture, history and culture. Some monuments are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

This article provides the first legal justification for the thesis that involvement of regional authorities in development of the tourism industry is an international obligation of the Russian Federation in the field of sustainable tourism development. The key to its effective implementation should be a differentiated legal regulation of the powers of state bodies at various levels. In the study of the powers of the Russian Federation and its subjects in the field of sustainable tourism development, analysis and synthesis methods were used, as well as a combination of comparative and formal legal methods. The study revealed legislative separation of competencies and powers between the Russian Federation and its entities in the tourism sector does not fully comply with international obligations of the state. The concentration of “tourist” powers in the hands of the federal authorities will not allow achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the tourism sector of the economy, and also significantly reduces effectiveness of state tourism policy.

Currently, participation of objects of a particular country in different global rankings and in the attractions lists is a sym- bol of prestige and importance for state. But such lists play important role in the forming tourist flows. List of Master- pieces of the World Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage is among them. It is drawn up under the auspices of UNESCO. The Russian Federation is not a participant of the relevant protection convention of this type of heritage. That is why its representation in the List is very low and does not correspond to the role and significance of the country’s culture in the global dimension. But even only two objects from the Intangible Heritage List, which are located in Russia, have significant potential for the forming tourist flows and tourist complexes development on their basis. It is proved by the experience of the involving these objects in tourism. The article describes three formats of transformation the intangible cultural heritage of the Russian Federation in the tour product: 1) a museum establishment; 2) a theme park; 3) the places of heritage existence in the real environment. Three forms of the intangible heritage presentation in the tourism industry are also highlighted. They suggest the possi- bility of visiting and acquaintance of tourists with the environment of existence, intangible heritage landscape, a certain type of culture in which it develops, and familiarity with the famous person – bearer and guardian of tradition. The article also identifies a number of threats for these objects themselves, which may be accompanied by involving of the intangible heritage in the tourism and hospitality industry.

The main mechanism for the tourism industry development both in the country and in the certain region is investment. The authors define the investment attractiveness estimation of the regions for the domestic tourism development as a system of indicators that comprehensively reflect the potential for investment, based on the investor’s strategic objectives and accounting for profitability, future cash flows and the level of risk. The article contains a number of basic methodological provisions that must be taken into account when elaborating a system of such indicators. For today the investment attractiveness estimation system of the regions for the domestic tourism development does not yet exist, whereas for many other industries and spheres of the economy, such systems have been developed to a sufficient extent. The scientific literature gives insufficient attention to the issue of assessing the regional investment attractiveness of the tourism sector. The authors make an attempt to create the universal system of parameters and estimated indicators, allowing to form understanding of the degree of tourism sector investment attractiveness of particular entities in the Russian Federation. The article offers the tourism investment attractiveness estimation model for the Russian regions based on the data of the Federal State Statistics Service. This model has been tested on the example of three entities of the Russian Federation - Altai, Krasnodar and Perm regions. The obtained results indicate that the proposed system of indicators and the evaluation model is fairly objective and representative. The developed tourism investment attractiveness estimation model for a region can be widely applied in the practice of all participants of the investment process in the course of justifying and making decisions on investment activity in the tourism development in specific regions. Also, the offered model and the system of indicators will be useful in planning and creating regional programs for the tourism development
