The role of the state in the organization of tourism business: international and Ukrainian experience

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to highlight the key factors that justify the need for state regulation of tourism, which in turn today has not only a local, but also a global impact on socio-economic processes in various countries of the world. In addition, the task is to generalize world experience regarding priority areas of activity in the field of tourism. The methodology is based on the fundamental provisions of economic theory, international economics, and management, which are used during the study of the factors of influence of international tourism on the development of countries. Such methods as methods of quantitative and qualitative comparison, correlation analysis, methods of observation, analysis and synthesis, evaluation, modeling were used. Scientific novely. In most countries, the multifaceted impact of tourism on the economy is regulated by a specially created central body of executive power. However,the level of state regulation of the tourism sphere is heterogeneous in different countries of the world and depends on the level of their economic development. This circumstance is the reason for the emergence of several basic models of state regulation in the field of tourism, based on the study of which it is possible to trace certain regularities in the organization of the tourism business. That is why it is important to analyze the experience of state regulation in foreign countries from the point of view of the possibility of its further adaptation to the domestic practice of organization, management and regulation of tourism in Ukraine. Conclusions. It was shown that the tourism policy of all the mentioned countries, regardless of the chosen model of state regulation, is aimed at strengthening the tourism economy and increasing the economic efficiency of this branch of the national economic complex. And the final positive result of such a policy largely depends on the effectiveness of management decisions and the authorities’ interest in their further implementation for the sustainable development of the tourism sector.
