Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify problematic issues of regulatory regulation of the tourism industry and the influence of state authorities on the development of tourism in Ukraine. The article proves that the structure of tourism management in Ukraine should include international, state, regional, regional and local levels. It has been determined that special attention is required to the local level of organization of tourism activities, on which the work of a significant number of economic entities is concentrated. The activities of tourism enterprises and other business entities directly depend on the decisions taken and the coordinated actions of the highest levels of management, so they are most vulnerable to changes or other threats. The legal regulation of tourism activities in Ukraine is carried out on the basis of the laws of Ukraine, orders of the President of Ukraine, orders of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, Orders of the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine, acts of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, industry standards, international and other regulatory legal acts that ensure the organization and provision of tourism services. An important component of public management of tourism activities is the use of the category «method» as a way of implementing managerial functions through the organizational and administrative influence of the management entity on the activity of the object to achieve managerial goals. There is a direct connection between the functions of public administration and the methods by which the state can implement them. The use of modern management methods makes it possible to compete in the market of tourist services, provide quality tourist services and effectively perform the tasks and functions. The methodology for managing the tourism industry determines what procedures need to be used to make management decisions. The use of certain methods of tourism management is carried out both at the state and regional and local levels. In terms of integration processes, the search for a model of economic development, the Ukrainian government has embarked on the path of decentralization. One of the steps of its implementation is the transfer of power, financial resources and responsibility to the ground. For this, a number of decisions were made, which led to the beginning of the voluntary unification of individual settlements in accordance with geographical and economic features.
