STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF TOURIST ACTIVITY INDICATORS IN THE KHERSON REGION

Abstract

In the present conditions, tourism in Ukraine is one of the most profitable sectors of the economy. Tourism activities are closely related to the availability of tourist and recreational resources, as well as a high-quality infrastructure that meets the needs of visitors. Therefore, spatially, this sector of the economy tends to concentrate in regions where such resources are present. In the context of conducting tourism business, the Kherson region is the most promising in Ukraine. The region has a significant number of tourist and recreational resources, including water resources, medicinal resources, cultural and historical sites, nature reserves, and more. Additionally, the region offers a wide range of accommodation facilities of various types and entertainment establishments. Given that the Kherson region is promising for tourism business development, studying the dynamics of key tourism activity indicators within the region is a highly relevant and promising issue. A large number of domestic scholars and practitioners have studied various aspects of the development of tourism activities at different territorial levels.
