Kharchenko O. Assessment and forecasting of the development of the tourist space of the region.

The author has developed a verbal model of the structure of tourist space constructed with the help of the Euler–Venn diagram which allows identifying possible connections of its elements in the system of economic space. The scientist also has made a classification of factors of tourist space development, which in contrast to the existing ones allow assessing the tourist attractiveness of the respective regions to identify the most promising areas of tourism development and overcome spatial differentiation, which will develop an effective strategy for sustainable tourism development in the region. A methodical approach for determining the integrated indicator of tourist attractiveness, built on the basis of taxonomic analysis, which allows forming a reasonable set of indicators, and to obtain ratings of regions of Ukraine by economic component, to identify progressive and depressed regions of Ukraine in the field of tourism services taking into account the aspect of spatial differentiation. A model of tourist space was built with the help of allocation component, the characteristic features of which are the availability, volume and location of factor and non-factor incomes within a separate geographical space between its subjects, which ensures coordination of the structure of tourist activity in the model "consumer - seller" and satisfaction of mental ideas about the attraction and recreation of the location. A holistic methodology for assessing and forecasting the development of tourist space was developed, which in contrast to existing ones will allow in crisis situations due to the influence of natural and man-made factors in a particular tourist direction to take into account the scale of the crisis, its timing, development and dissemination in order to improve the activities of tour operators and ensure their stable operation under the influence of destabilizing factors. A mechanism of effective management of tourist activity for the purpose of overcoming of spatial differentiation and unevenness of rendering of tourist and recreational services in the regions of Ukraine for the purpose of facilitating of spatial differentiation of tourist movement inn them was developed by the author.
