FEATURES OF THE TOURISM PRODUCT AND COMPETITIVENESS IN THIS SPHERE
Keywords:
tourism product, tariffs, product characteristics, tourism market, GOST, competitiveness in the tourism sectorAbstract
The global tourism market is considered one of the most profitable and dynamically developing sectors of the global economy. Its specificity is determined by a multifaceted socioeconomic phenomenon—international tourism. It is characterized by a multitude of definitions. These definitions characterize tourism as an independent, specific economic sector, but they draw on different perspectives, allowing for a comprehensive picture and the identification of tourism actors and objects. Thus, the primary definition encompasses the characteristics of tourism as a specific sphere focused on providing services to travelers. These definitions are analyzed by the authors, and their conclusions are based on the opinions of international experts.
