Stemming from the statistical data on tourism trends during 2018-2020 and author’s own methodology of calculating the efficient tourist multiplier, to determine regularities and factors behind the reaction of the leading world economies to the critical fall in tourist services production under the coronavirus pandemic conditions. The research study is based on the statistical analysis of tourists’ spending impacts on the dynamics of nominal GDP in 48 countries of the world and also on the author’s own approach to determining the efficient tourist multiplier (miniplier in this case) as well as on the hypothesis about the accumulating uselessness of tourist services production. We have detected regularities in the dynamics of tourist multiplier as well as in restructuring of tourist services production in the leading economies of the world under the conditions when the tourist market environment was critically worsening. In the research the trends of tourist multiplier for 2018-2020 were determined and also recommendations on modernization of the state regulation system as well as on corporate strategizing were offered, taking into account the author’s methodology of measuring the tourism efficiency multiplier (miniplier) and accumulating uselessness of tourist services production under crisis.

In the article, based on the analysis of statistical indicators of the world and national tourism (in 112 countries), studying tourists impact on the destinations natural environment, the change in the indicator of average expenditures of a foreign tourist in the period 1995 - 2022 is assessed, its values are correlated with the dynamics of national inflation and fluctuations in the exchange rates of national currencies at the current moment considering temporary lags. An assumption is made regarding the limit value of one billion international tourist trips per year as a condition for economies of scale in the global tourism industry, a time lag of one year is determined as a condition for the impact of national inflation on the amount of foreign tourist expenditures, and the insignificance of the impact of the national currency exchange rate on the dynamics of tourism expenditures is substantiated.

Postindustrialization today belongs to the most important criteria of national economic competitiveness and a factor which directly determines country's positioning in the world economy and international labor distribution. Under the conditions of resource potential limitedness of industrial development as such, this makes extremely actual the search for new principles and new mechanisms for accelerated postindustrial modernization. In this chapter we carry out the analysis of postindustrialization as a socioeconomic phenomenon in order to reveal the fundamental causes of its origin and the whole wide spectrum of its consequences which are supposed to transform the global economic system. We also plan to present the conceptual grounds of infrastructural and institutional provision for postindustrial modernization viewed here as a large-scale reform of a socioeconomic system of a country under the intellectualization of production relations initiated and fully supported by the state.

This chapter covers three actual problems of the modern economy: immigration processes in developed countries and their “economic effect,” current migration problems of Russian regions, as well as the specifics of economic space structuring considering the overall impact of migration processes on the territorial economy and the labour market. In the chapter, the assessment of the economic role of immigration in developed countries is justified, economic effects of migration processes are established, the analysis of the structure of the economic space of the modern state is conducted, regions of the Russian Federation in line with migration problems and conceptual substantiation of formation mechanisms of the Russian economic space are classified. The recommendations on the modernization of the Russian migration policy related to the use of positive foreign experience are suggested as conclusions. The given problem seems to be especially actual in the light of the strengthening of the latest migration processes, connected with the crisis in the Ukraine.
