CLUSTER APPROACH TO TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN THE FAR EAST AND ARCTIC AND FORMS OF STATE SUPPORT FOR PRIVATE INVESTORS

The problem of the cluster approach as an effective tool for long-term tourism development has been discussed for quite a long time in different countries. According to the author, a tourism cluster is a set of tourism and recreational special economic zones created with government support, located within the same territory, and crucial for the economy of that territory. The purpose of cluster formation is to create a multiplier synergetic effect in the development of the region's economy. The development of a tourism cluster inevitably impacts the entire infrastructure, including transportation, road construction, and the construction industry as a whole, as well as the development of agriculture and the food industry. Additionally, it significantly contributes to solving employment problems. Moreover, tourism clusters are drivers of a positive business reputation for a country, which can be a significant factor in attracting new investment. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the development of tourism in territories lagging behind the national average development rate provides an opportunity to accelerate growth by attracting private investment. This is particularly important given the current sanctions pressure currently being exerted on Russia.
