THEORETICAL METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF ADMINISTRATION, CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF TOURIST-RECREATION AREAS

The article discusses the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of tourism in recreational regions. The deep integration of the tourism and recreation industry into the socio-economic system of the region is shown and the lack of opportunity to manage the development of tourism and recreation separately from the general strategy and program for managing the socio-economic development of the territory is substantiated. The concept of tourism and recreational potential of the region is formulated from the perspective of a systems approach. Natural resources are considered, which, first of all, form the tourism and recreational specialization of the region, a classification of natural resources as the main component of the tourism and recreational sphere has been developed, according to the degree of recreational and tourism potential. The authors draw attention to the need to determine the possibilities of using natural recreational resources for economic assessment; in this regard, direct and indirect recreational resources are considered. It is shown that an important condition for the emergence and development of the tourism and recreational sector of the economy is the demand for tourism and recreational resources and services, as well as the accessibility and development of the region, which is largely determined by the state of the tourism and recreational infrastructure. The following directions for assessing the resource potential of territories are proposed: quantitative assessment of resources, assessment of the structure of potential, the degree of use of private potentials, assessment of the possibilities of using resources; introduction of a system of tourist and recreational cadastres. Methods for assessing tourist and recreational resources and parameters of rating scales are presented.
