Strategic priorities of domestic tourism development – balanced development of the Russian Federation regions

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to assess the domestic tourism at the present stage to solve the strategic problem of balanced development of the Russian Federation. The article assesses the dynamics of the domestic tourism flow by such parameters as the number of people placed in collective accommodation facilities, the number of tours sold, the duration of trips, the dynamics of paid services in the context of the regions of the Russian Federation. The analysis allows us to conclude about the nonuniform distribution of the domestic tourism flow, a high degree of its concentration. The authors emphasize that in order to consolidate measures of targeted support of individual regions, the issues of assessing interregional tourism flows in individual regions are of great importance. The article is prepared according to the results of studies carried out at the expense of budgetary funds on the government assignment of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation of 2019.
