Abstract
This article analyzes the theoretical foundations of educational tourism based on the analysis of international academic mobility. International academic mobility is considered as a component of the development of the scientific and educational industry, which also has a significant impact on the general socio-economic progress. International educational tourism is one of the manifestations of academic mobility. In the process of research, the main trends in the development of educational tourism in the context of the internationalization of education were determined. This article also analyzes different approaches to the definition of educational tourism and examines the essence of this phenomenon. Educational tourism is defined as trips with an educational purpose lasting from overnight stay to one year, which may be accompanied by recreational activities. A classification of educational tourism by objectives, age of travelers, and stages of their career development is proposed. Educational tourism is considered as a complex, interdisciplinary phenomenon, which is demonstrated with the help of the graphic model "MET: Mobility, Education, Tourism". The proposed approach to the classification of types of educational mobility according to the objectives and duration of stay in the host country made it possible to distinguish between day visits, tourism, other types of educational mobility, temporary educational migration, and migration. The prerequisites and factors of the development of educational tourism are also analyzed, and the main principles of stimulating its development are highlighted, in particular, the application of the concept of the lifetime value of the client, i.e., taking into account the value of each visitor in the long term.
