The Infrastructural Support of Tourism on the Example of the Cycling Infrastructure

The unrestrained development of cycling tourism requires an appropriate response from the State both at the legislative level and in the form of appropriate actions, namely: the construction of cycling infrastructure, the creation of which will positively affect the development of both transport and tourist infrastructure. This is explained by the conclusion that such concepts as «transport infrastructure», «cycling infrastructure» and «tourist infrastructure» are quite strongly interrelated and sensitive to each other in case of quantitative and qualitative changes in any of these infrastructures. In fact, the development of cycling infrastructure throughout the country will create conditions for the further development of domestic and inbound cycling tourism. The creation of cycling infrastructure in Ukraine (as part of the transport infrastructure) will lead to an increase in traffic safety and transport accessibility for cycling tourists of a significant number of the touristic, natural, historical and cultural resources. And this, in turn, will require the tourist infrastructure entities to continue its development in terms of providing appropriate specialized services to cycling tourists and meeting the standard needs of a growing number of tourists (for example, in the form of accommodation, catering, information, advertising, etc.). In addition to the direct development of the transport, cycling, and tourist infrastructures, related spheres of economic activity will be developed, ensuring their creation, existence and uninterrupted functioning. It is also important that the development of cycling infrastructure and the development of cycling tourism will lead to an increase in the number of jobs, profitability of transport, tourism and other spheres of economic activity and the State in general. And the most important in the case of creating a cycling infrastructure is the ability to meet the existing demand from potential and existing consumers of such services

Substantiating the Choice of a Strategy for Development of Tourism Resources in the Region

The article is aimed at substantiating the choice of the most appropriate and effective strategy for developing tourism resources according to the criteria set, using the economic and mathematical methods of measuring these criteria. The impact of the development of tourism resources on the volume of services provided by tourism industry enterprises (i.e., enterprises providing board and lodging services) was analyzed by means of correlation-regression analysis. The task of the optimal investment in tourism resources was solved through converting the linear regression equation into a logistical. On the results of the carried out analysis, it has been determined that the priority tasks in the development of a tourism resource strategy should focus on the creation and development of local significant sites, restaurant facilities, increasing the number of places in the accommodations, as well as the number of stadiums and theatres
