Abstract
The consequences of the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) for tourism and the state’s attention to the revival of this segment of the economy are briefly outlined. It is shown that the current crisis is the strongest in the entire history of the industry, while crises open up additional opportunities in its functioning, and innovative solutions are used to meet the requirements of consumers. The main trends of post-crisis measures in our country are highlighted. In Russia, the strategic basis for improving the recreation sector is the strengthening of domestic tourism; in this regard, regional strategies for its development are of particular importance. This direction is declared in the industry program and in the Development Program of the Far East into 2035, supported by measures and targets for the creation of its own tourism cluster in each Far Eastern region. It is shown that for the first time in the socio-economic program the Tourism subprogram is allocated for the region. The prerequisites for its implementation are outlined, and the centers of tourist activity revitalization are presented. Taking into consideration the geographical location and size of the region, the formation of cluster policy emphasizes the importance of developing interregional relations, which are currently poorly represented. Even the conditions of the territories of advanced development, which are distinguished by a special mode of doing business, are not used in their establishment. The model of the federal tourist interregional scheme of territorial and spatial planning, with a focus on the creation of a comprehensive tourist development plan, is proposed. The prerequisites, structure, content and conditions of its formation are pointed out. The implementation of the tasks outlined in the scheme is focused on combining the common efforts of all market players in order to form a tourist region as an integral competitive unit.
