Upgrading Mechanisms of Managing Social and Economic Development of Tourism on Regional Level

Abstract

Mechanisms of developing tourism on the regional level are numerous and they can be systematized by different characteristics. However, it is better to give a general view of the system of such mechanisms through classical management functions that include analysis, planning, organization, realization and control. Management of tourism development on the regional level is carried out within the frames of the mentioned classical functions of management theory. At the same time management of tourism development on the regional level is characterized by special features of each function due to the fact that actually all these functions are performed by structural divisions of the public apparatus represented by executive bodies of regional authority. Through fundamental functions of the theory of management the article provides recommendations aimed at upgrading the present mechanisms of managing social and economic development of tourism in the region. The author comes to the conclusion that raising the level of social and economic development of the region on the basis of tourism requires assessment of tourism impact on regional development, shaping new economically efficient organizational forms and models of management in the field of recreation and tourism.
