The article discusses the changes taking place in the geo-economics of Eurasia associated with the creation of the People's Republic of China One Belt One Road initiative in 2013. These changes are linked with globalization, increased exportimport dependence and with the forecast of an increase in mutual tourist flows between the countries involved in the program. We present potential problems and development perspectives of One Belt One Road initiative and investigate the impact of participation in the Belt and Road Initiative on the economy and tourism industry of the Russian Federation.The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that there are differences in socio-demographic, political, economic, naturalgeographical and other conditions in most regions of Russia and other countries implementing the program "One Belt One Road", which excludes a unified approach to the development of tourism there. These differences require a sound policy of socioeconomic development based on a differentiated approach to different types of regions, depending on their level of economic maturity, social and environmental situation, and specialization. Tourism is inherently linked to specific resources, natural and geographical factors, regional characteristics and therefore needs a broad decentralized organization, primarily on a regional basis, which, however, is supposed to implement the same concept of increasing reciprocal tourist flows.The scientific justification of the development of tourism under the One Belt One Road program involves solving the problem of integrated development of infrastructure support for regional tourism and hospitality systems. This article proposes a solution to the lack of sound methods for estimating its level of development, due to the lack not only of adequate tools, but also of a statistical base that allows to obtain up-to-date information. An information base has been developed to monitor, assess and rank regions to determine whether the level of funding for tourism infrastructure development is optimal.
The article analyzes the dynamics of tourist flows in the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation based on the methods of horizontal and trend analysis. The authors constructed a correlation-regression model of the relationship between the number of tourists in the region and the volume of paid services provided by collective accommodation facilities. Based on the obtained model, a conclusion is drawn about the positive impact of increased tourist flows on the social and economic status of the Siberian Federal District, which justifies the need to increase tourist flows. The development of cruise tourism is recommended as one of the directions for attracting tourists to the Siberian Federal District. The main problems and prospects of river cruise routes in the region are analyzed. The recommendations made will help to increase the tourist attractiveness of the region, improve its social and economic situation, and increase the welfare of its population.
