Reasonable Prospects for the Establishment of Local Subregional Tourism and Recreational Clusters in Line with the Specificities of Regional Spatial Development

Abstract

The paper is aimed at grounding the prospects for tourism and recreational clusters development at the subregional level with regard to the characteristics of regional spatial development. The methodology proposed for the study was used to define tourism and recreational clusters on the peripheral territories of the Samara Region outside the largest Samara-Togliatti agglomeration based on rankings. The study resulted in the recommendations on the development of seven tourism and recreational clusters at the municipal level of the Samara Region. The practical importance of the research is in the prospective use of its results by government officials and local authorities of the Samara Region aiming at improving management of tourism and recreational cluster development based on the cluster approach.

Cluster Approach For Territorial Development Management

“…Actually, in general, the cluster approach gains popularity in economy. In recent years, many papers on this subject have been published by Russian authors (Gorochnaya et al, 2020;Ilyasov et al, 2019;Koroleva & Kurnikova, 2020;Kudryavtseva et al, 2020;Perminova et al, 2019;Perova & Papko, 2019;Taranova et al, 2015;Zhelnova, 2012) and by authors from other countries (Haddad & Rahman, 2020;Kumar et al, 2017;Ma et al, 2020;Mishchenko & Mishchenko, 2018) on the necessity to group regions depending on their particularities and differentiate the approaches for managing regions (Baranov et al, 2015). Researchers use modern data mining methods, in particular, self-organizing maps as one of the clusterization methods (Gritsay et al, 2018;Liashenko et al, 2018;Orazi et al, 2020).…”
