Information technology greatly simplifies the process of forming a tourist product using computer networks, international reservation systems, electronic databases of tourism regulations, automated systems of settlement payments and etc. The impact of information technology on tourism is carried out by the following ways: increasing the efficiency of enterprise management, improving the quality of customer services, creating and implementing new services. The subject of the research is the introduction of information technology in the Ukrainian tourism industry. The purpose of the article is to identify trends and outline the definite prospects of using modern information technology in the tourism industry. The following research methods are used in the article: analysis and synthesis to closer define the essence of information technology; observation and theoretical generalizations to reveal the characteristics of introduction of information technology in the activity of enterprises in the tourism industry; statistical method to analyze the current condition of information technology in the tourism industry; graphical and tabular techniques to determine the relationship between indicators, their illustrations and the presentation of research results. The results we have obtained are following. The most popular websites in Ukraine in the categories “Accommodation and Hotels”, “Air Travel” “Ground Transportation” and “Tourist Attractions” are booking.com, flyuia.com, blablacar.com, and getyourgiede.com. Compared to the world experience, the percentage of paid search in Ukraine is higher, it means that some companies do not have a well-developed brand. The rating in mobile apps for all companies is above 4, it is a good mark. Due to the pandemic, tourism is now in a difficult situation, it has also affected the statistics of all indicators on web resources, but the experts pay attention to the historical sustainability of tourism and its ability to cope with crises. From the comparative characteristics of web pages in four categories in Ukraine and in the world, we can conclude that in our country the brands of these companies are not enough developed, the popularity among tourists is lower, and the percentage of search traffic is also lower. To increase the website traffic and the level of awareness of tourism businesses, tourism enterprises should use social networks to provide up-to-date information to tourists and to maintain customer contact, as well as send promotions and discounts.

In the information society the status of information is changing: this main value of global civilization becomes an important resource of socio- economic, technological and cultural development. The rapid development of virtual technologies and the growing number of Internet users in Ukraine and in the world causes the new challenges to communication of each organization. The book publishers are also obliged to respond to these processes. However, the works devoted directly to publishers’ communication in the modern media space are still lacking in Ukraine. The objective of the article is to clarify peculiarities and conditions of the activities of Ukrainian book publishers in today’s media space which is an important issue today. It is analyzed the literature and sources on this issue and it is ascertained the theoretical and practical possibilities to take into account the trends in the world of modern media in the PR-activity of book publishers. Also the prospects for further scientific study and practical use of PR-communications in the activity of publishers are determined. The analysis of current changes in the modern information space allows us to trace the general tendencies: the new subject and object areas are formed; the number of subjects is expanded; the new formats of interaction within the system of communications of the organization and in society as a whole are created. That means that publishing house’s PR-communications are complicated by the emergence of new elements, such as active audience, social networks as communication channels, promotions on the Internet and others. PR communication in the Internet space is the most effective and inexpensive tool for interaction of publishers with active audiences. Thus, the activation of PR communication in the modern media space is associated with the emergence of the latest information technologies, online media as well as development of Internet. The use of online channels of Internet for communication with the target audience of publishing organizations has certain advantages over traditional media. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the information saturation of media space, which complicates the way of PR-messages of book publishers to the reader.

Introduction. The development of the information and communication technologies (ICT) market creates the conditions for further growth of other sectors of the economy. ICT companies provide companies, individuals and government with software, Internet, mobile and fixed communications, and so on. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the ICT market in the world and in Ukraine, to identify major trends and threats for further development of the ICT market. Results. The ICT market is one of the largest dynamically developing markets in the world. Research conducted by leading consulting companies in the world shows that after 2020, the market can grow from 13 to 33 trillion and the blockchain market to 3.1 trillion $. International Data Corporation emphasizes that digital technologies and solutions can reach 60% of global GDP by the end of 2022. The world leader in the number of ICT corporations is the United States, with headquarters of the 65 world's largest companies, 20 in China, Taiwan - 17, Japan - 14, South Korea - 6, India - 5 companies. The IT services market accounts for 0,5% of the global IT services market. In Ukraine there are 125 registered self-employed individuals that are used by large companies to optimize their tax burden. Income of such American ICT companies such as Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft significantly exceeds the size of the state budget of Ukraine, and part of the revenues from the ICT market occupies only 4,5% of GDP, which is clearly insufficient and is evidence of an economic development lag. Conclusions. The imperfection of domestic legislation, the lack of incentives for ICT organizations, the possibility to monopolize the market, the insecurity of the interests of individuals and private companies do not stimulate foreign investments in this sector of the economy. In spite of this, Ukraine has a great potential for its growth, for which it is necessary to develop a national concept and model for the development of the ICT market, to restrain the departure of specialists abroad, to ensure the implementation of the business-state partnership strategy, etc. Keywords: telecommunications market, IT market, telecommunications market and IT services, marketing research, investments, ICT companies.

This article is substantiating the relevance of the development of educational tourism caused by the trends of globalization and internationalization of education. The analysis of scientific works on the research of educational tourism is presented. It is noted that despite the relatively long history of the existence of some forms of educational tourism, taking into account the views of scientists that innovation in education is not always a completely new phenomenon, educational tourism can be considered a pedagogical innovation. According to the authors, the existing conviction of scientists about the close relationship of pedagogical innovations with information technologies enhances the innovativeness of virtual educational tourism. The periodization of educational tourism from antiquity to the present day is presented. The significant impact of travels for knowledge and academic exchanges on the modern infrastructure of the tourism industry is noted. Indicating the role of educational tourism for the development of international cooperation in education, the authors analyze the dynamics of external and internal academic mobility in the period from 2015 to 2019 years at the Kostanay State Pedagogical University, which now is Kostanay Regional University named after A. Baitursynov. The innovative nature of modern educational tourism, which is enhanced by the use of information and communication technologies and digital resources, along with traditional forms of tourist and educational activities, is emphasized. A virtual excursion is considered as one of the innovative forms of education. The experience of the participation of students of pedagogical specialties in the development and implementation of digital resources in secondary schools in a virtual environment, contributing to the formation of the readiness of future teachers for productive activities in the context of distance education, is presented.

Tourism Activity

This research compares tourism competitiveness of two neighboring countries, Romania and Bulgaria, which have many similarities economically as well as from a geopolitical and historical perspective. Despite these similarities, immediately after the 1990s, which marked the fall of the communist regime, the tourism phenomenon in the two countries had divergent evolutions. As the tourism industry in Bulgaria, especially its seaside tourism, underwent unprecedented development, the tourism activity in Romania systematically lost its competitiveness. The factors affecting the appearance and increase of such a difference are of interest to the Romanian seaside tourism. To generate the answer to this problem, we perform a series of comparative analyses with data from the World Economic Forum, in terms of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report (2011-2015), `the National Authority for Tourism of Romania, and the National Institute of Statistics from Romania and Bulgaria. We identified a series of constitutive elements relating to the success of the Bulgarian seaside tourism and a sequence of deficiencies in the strategic and organizational maneuvers of the tourism activity at the Romanian seaside.

Future Potential

The “information revolution” has not only transformed the world as we know it, but also its future potential. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), with their major technological advances, have affected the lives and lifestyles of people across the globe, as well as the way institutions and organizations do business. However, not all outcomes of the spread of information technologies have been positive. A majority of the world’s population, especially those who live in poverty, have been largely bypassed by this revolution. The gap between them and the rest of the world has expanded precisely as a result of the facilitation capacity of these technologies for those who have access to them (Figueres, 2003). The majority of these people are situated in the African continent and other developing countries.
