TOURISM DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN RUSSIA UNDER CONDITIONS OF INSTABILITY AND SANCTIONS

The idea of a global world with free movement of people, goods and capital around the world is being revised not only by unorthodox economists, but also by adherents of liberal concepts. The tourism sector is no exception: entire countries are closing their borders, direct fl ights between them are canceled, security threats are increasing, and the geopolitical situation is changing dramatically. The purpose of this work is to analyze the trends in the development of tourism in Russia in the new reality, to analyze the dynamics of the development of individual sub–sectors of this sector, which in the future will allow the authors to develop recommendations for the development of institutional measures to support domestic tourism. The results of the presented work are the identifi ed trends in the development of tourism at the present stage and the analysis of economic indicators of the tourism sector of Russia in 2017–2021. The paper also highlights the main trends in the development of tourism in the Chelyabinsk region.
