Opportunities for the Tourism Economy Recovery through Cross-Cultural Services
The purpose of the research is to substantiate the possibility of restoring the tourism economy through cross-cultural service in accommodation facilities, depending on the country of citizenship of tourists in the districts of Russia. The objectives are to assess the dynamics of inbound tourism in Russia, its changes during the spread of COVID-19; to identify differences in the countries of citizenship of foreign tourists in various districts of Russia and justify the need for a cross-cultural service. The research methods are statistical and logical-analytical. The results are as follows: the uneven recovery of inbound tourism in Russia during the period of easing restrictions (2021) relative to the period of lockdowns due to COVID-19 (2020) was revealed. Differences in the countries of citizenship of the predominant groups of foreign tourists by districts of Russia have been established. An algorithm for providing a cross-cultural service for accommodation facilities is proposed in the interests of restoring the tourism economy.
