Touristic zoning: discourse on the method
Abstract
The article deals with a synthetic understanding of theoretical and applied aspects of the tourist regionalization method. The study focuses on streamlining the application process as an important precondition for effective planning and management of tourism. It summarizes theoretical and practical experience of selecting the criteria (principles and signs) for identification of tourist regions. The importance of both traditional and innovative signs (such as the image of the territory) that define the nature of tourism regionalization is emphasized. According to the structural characteristics of a territory the regularities were revealed for designing the number, configuration, specialization, name and boundaries of potential tourist regions. Basing on the regularities an original methodological approach to the tourist regionalization is suggested, which reduces typical shortcomings in the course of its application.
