Comparative Analysis of the Infrastructure of the Regional Markets of Tourist Services on the Russian Far East

Abstract

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the state of the infrastructure of regional markets for tourism services in the Far Eastern region. The thesis is substantiated that a paradoxical situation has emerged in the tourism services market: the growing infrastructure and the number of operators, the profitability of the maintenance of infrastructure falls. The criterion for evaluating efficiency should not be the natural-quantitative indicators, as it has developed now, but value (monetary) meters. The overbending of collective accommodation facilities, distributed on the territory of the region, is achieved not because of the demand, but because of their low capacity and small quantity. Moreover, the typical situation for the region was the situation where instead of one old, physically and morally worn out, but a large hotel in the same territory, two or more hotels are being built, which technically can surpass it by the number of rooms, but significantly concede in class. For example, capsule hotels. In general, the existing infrastructure is built outside the logic of tourism, without linking with points of attraction. Qualitatively, according to expert estimates, the infrastructure has developed its resource by more than 95%.
