Application of the Theory of Complex Networks in Analysis of Tourist Infrastructure

Abstract

One of the most dynamically developing sectors of the service sector, which has a significant impact on the socioeconomic development of a region, is tourism. Its characteristic feature is a significant multiplicative effect that generates incomes in related sectors of the economy and gives impetus to their development. National tourism should play a key role in the development of the territories, since it is, tourism which is the main source of financial income from tourist activities. In the regions of our country, national tourism is poorly developed, which is explained by the underdeveloped infrastructure of the industry, the discrepancy between prices for tourist products and their quality, as well as the lack of qualified personnel. It is obvious, however, that it is the infrastructural component that most influences the tourist attractiveness of a region. At the same time, at the moment, the following factors contribute to the popularity of national (domestic) tourism: the turbulent geopolitical situation in many countries, the growth of the exchange rate, the restrictions on Russian travel to popular foreign resorts etc. Under these conditions, the studies that analyze the existing infrastructure of a region, including using the theory of complex networks, become
