“…The choropleth mapping of different tourism related variables provides a proper overview of the characteristics of tourism and its tendency of concentration or dispersion at a particular moment or over a period of time. This approach has been successfully used for analysing accommodation capacity (Ferreira & Boshoff, 2014;Rogerson, 2013), tourism demand (Iliev, 2018;Iyv & Copp, 1999), tourism receipts (Van Doren & Gutske, 1982), or tourism investments (Cornelissen, 2005).…”

The potential role of tourism in enhancing a balanced territorial development is officially acknowledged by the EU. However, little is known regarding the extent to which tourism in Romania contributes or could contribute to reducing regional inequalities. The present study approaches the matter of the growth of tourism demand and supply in relation to the type of territory (lagging, intermediary, leading), at both regional and local levels. The results indicate a significant geographical concentration of tourism activity, despite a noticeable diffusion of tourism across the country in the last decades. This derives from the fact that the leading territories, which already took the lion's share of the tourism supply and demand also retain the highest part of the increases in tourism demand. As a consequence, tourism sector stands out more as a factor that can increase territorial disparities than contribute to their reduction. However, a considerable potential for tourism growth in terms of tourism supply characterizes the lagging regions. Accordingly, differentiated tourism public policies related to the type of territory could be considered.

“…The author also highlights that precisely the formation of medical and health tourism infrastructure has become the primary condition for specialized organizations to enter the tourism market. The evolutionary changes at a regional level of Macedonia and the territorial disparities in tourism development by highlighting active and underdeveloped areas and the differences between them, including in the distribution of accommodation facilities, are approached by Iliev (2018). We find that aspects on which these works are concentrated are relevant to be taken into account by our paper since Belarus has similar recreational resources to the northern regions of Ukraine.…”

“…In addition to the hotel industry, several other indicators and aspects that are known to be active as part of the development of tourism infrastructure potential are analysed by countries in studies since the subject is of common ground, by Frent (2019), Rashetnikau (2017), Traskevich (2008, Iliev (2018), Nicula & Neagu (2013). Research of the evolution of foreign tourist accommodation by accommodation facilities type at the regional level and overnight stays of foreign tourists in accommodation facilities at the regional level is presented by Frent (2019).…”

The article presents the structural changes that occurred in the territorial distribution of health and wellness related accommodation units between 2012 and 2017 in Ukraine. It attempts to analyse a specific category of accommodation units as a possible base for the development of international tourism in the country. The factors that could influence their future development at the districts and cities of the oblast (regional) level are revealed. The common factors in providing accommodation facilities were also highlighted through cartographic mapping. One main finding of the paper is a general decrease in the number of accommodation units as well as health and wellness units for the analysed time, at the level of administrative districts and cities of oblast significance of Ukraine. However, some situations where this number increased have been identified.

“…The transit route region can be subdivided into smaller regions with sub-region centres. For instance, Skopje is a node of the Skopje Region (Iliev 2018). In essence, transit cities can be nodes of sub-regions, but they are also part of a larger transit route region that includes the entire multi-destination trip.…”

Previous research has shown that there is a lack of knowledge about the quality of hospitality services, as well as the identification of potential transit destinations along the pan-European transport corridors. This paper proposes a new framework for understanding these issues and helps to fill research gaps. The analysis uses the case of North Macedonia, which provides a suitable framework for examining these issues. Mixed methods and data are used in the analysis. The findings indicate that the pan-European transport corridors do not have adequate hospitality services and emphasise the gap between the increasing number of foreign transit passengers in the last several years and the quality of hospitality services offered on the transport corridors.From a theoretical point of view, the paper provides a refined understanding of the transit route region and calls for a reassessment of conventional transit route models by
