Interregional Interaction as a Strategic Basis for Tourism Recovery in the Far East

The consequences of the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) for tourism are briefly outlined, and government actions to revive this economic sector are considered. It is shown that the current crisis is the worst in the entire history of the industry. At the same time, crises open up additional opportunities; innovative solutions are used to meet customer requirements. The main trends of postcrisis measures in our country are highlighted. In Russia, the strategic basis for improving the recreation sector is strengthening domestic tourism; in this regard, regional strategies for development are of particular importance. This direction is declared in the industry program and in the Program for Development of the Far East until 2035, supported by measures and targets for the creation of a tourism cluster in each region of the Far East. It is shown that the socioeconomic program includes the regional Tourism subprogram for the first time. The prerequisites for its implementation are outlined, and the centers of tourist activity revitalization are presented. Taking into consideration the geographical position and size of the Far East, the formation of a cluster policy emphasizes the importance of developing interregional relations, which are currently poorly represented. Even the conditions of territories with advanced development that have preferential treatment for business are not used in establishing relations. A model of the federal tourism interregional scheme of territorial and spatial planning, with a focus on the creation of a comprehensive tourism plan of development, is proposed. The prerequisites, structure, content, and conditions of model formation are pointed out. The implementation of the tasks outlined in the scheme focuses on the integration of the common efforts of all market players in order to form a tourist region as an integral competitive unit.
