The results. In general, there is an uneven development of international tourism in the countries of the world. The main reasons for this are the underdeveloped infrastructure of the tourism sphere and related service spheres, customs control difficulties and an unfavorable visa regime for foreign tourists, low investment activity in the tourism sphere, problems of the shadow economy, low professionalism of workers in the sphere of tourist services, insufficient level of quality of tourist services, economic and political destabilization, imperfect legal security of the industry.
