ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ИННОВАЦИЙ ПРЕДПРИЯТИЯМИ ТУРИСТСКОЙ ОТРАСЛИ: ПРОБЛЕМА ДОСТИЖЕНИЯ УСТОЙЧИВОГО ЭКОЛОГО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ И ПУТИ ЕЕ РЕШЕНИЯ

Abstract

The important task for economic entities of tourist industry is to achieve optimal and longstanding balance between ecological and economical parameters. The article suggests creating the basis for the economic units’ activity in tourist industry by implementing modern technological innovations. It has been recommended to choose real locations which could give a start for improvement of a business unit, with regard to available requirements and resources. The researches have been conducted on the base of the hypotheses of Goldratt’e theory of constraints. There have been given recommendations that provide business entities modernization; in particular, they ensure the trouble-free operation of vertical wind generators and microturbines in industrial processes of tourist economic units. The vertical wind generator has the shape of a corkscrew; it works steadily with a small wind force and does not generate vibration, unlike traditional blade devices. This is extremely important for coastal zones with developed tourism infrastructure. Such structures provide unlimited prospects for using them as an autonomous source of electricity in places remote from centralized power supply; they can be used on rooftops. Microturbines have many advantages compared to conventional gas piston units (internal combustion engines): high efficiency, full light insulation, small volume. The undeniable advantage of using microturbines is the fact that they can work on low-quality gas, which is generated by enterprises of the tourist industry even from the household waste. At maximum speed, the microturbine has power of 12 kW. Modern microturbines have a resource of about 100,000 hours, that is, about ten years with regular maintenance of the turbine once a year. It has been stated that vertical wind generators and microturbines can be produced by 70% in the framework of additive technologies. They can be performed by using a 3D printer. The proposals used will help to achieve the sustainable ecological and economic development of certain business units.
