Abstract
In the current economic situation, the solution to the problems of diversification of mining regions is relevant not only in terms of economic outcome, but also the need to change the ecological situation in industrial regions towards its improvement. Diversification of the region’s economy is associated with the idea of expanding the range of economic activities and considered as a mechanism to reduce risks and mono-dependence of the regional economy. The study suggests that tourism could become one of the areas of diversification and greening of the mining region economy by the example of the Kemerovo region. The structure of the GRP and individual indicators characterizing the state of the tourism sector were analyzed to assess the impact of tourism on the diversification of the economy of the Kemerovo region. Despite the fact that the total share of the tourism sector has changed slightly over the 5 years, its multiplier effect has a positive impact on the state of the service sector and the economy of the entire region. It was confirmed by the results of the analysis. The optimistic scenario for the development of the Kemerovo region determines the large role of tourism in the diversification and greening of the region’s economy. The implementation of the conservative scenario that provides the supportive development of traditional sectors, does not exclude opportunities for the development of tourism, which will ensure the effective and long-term sustainable development of the Kuzbass.
Highlights
The problem of diversifying the economy of mining regions has become more and more urgent over the past years
The application of the principles of diversification on the scale of the country's economy gives more advantages, since it allows to maximize the use of its natural resources together with new opportunities for economic growth, which in turn leads to lower operating costs and increase national competitiveness [2]
The long monodependence of mining regions on one type of energy resources, their multiplicative effect on the economy, direct government control over the production volume and pricing became an obstacle to the subsequent diversification of the economy and improving the environmental situation in these regions
Summary
The problem of diversifying the economy of mining regions has become more and more urgent over the past years. The long monodependence of mining regions on one type of energy resources, their multiplicative effect on the economy, direct government control over the production volume and pricing became an obstacle to the subsequent diversification of the economy and improving the environmental situation in these regions. The strategy of diversification of the regional economy can be manifested in stimulating the development of those types of activities whose products are characterized by low material consumption, the use of reproducible resources and high added value For peripheral mining regions, tourism can be seen as a relatively simple way to overcome the previous ways of developing an economy based on industry [10, 11]
