The regions of Ukraine with similar values of indicators characterizing the development of tourism in 2020 under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are grouped using cluster analysis. It is proposed to modify cluster analysis by taking into account clarifying weighting factors and correcting penalty functions. The five clusters of the regions of Ukraine are singled out and the peculiarities of tourism development within each cluster are characterized.
