DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOURIST SPHERE IN UKRAINE AS A FACTOR OF REALIZATION OF CAPACITY OF COMMUNITIES AND REGIONS

Abstract

The article considers the tourism sector in Ukraine as a factor in realizing the potential of communities and regions. It is emphasized that the development of tourism contributes to the capacity of communities through the efficient use of resources, the formation of common interests, providing opportunities for decent work, productive employment, increasing the competitiveness of the region. It is noted that for many local communities, which due to the difficult socio-economic conditions of existence, lack of experience and lack of specialists most need the development of alternative activities, the introduction of tourism is an extremely difficult task. Therefore, the implementation of reforms in the field of tourism depends on the interaction of public administration bodies at the regional and local levels, the coherence of regional and local programs in the field of tourism, the quality of project implementation, the level of qualification of public servants.
