Prospects for the Spatial Development of the Tourist Territory in the Domestic Legal System

Purpose of the study. The article discusses conceptual approaches to science-based clustering of tourist areas from the point of view of their spatial development in the system of administrative and legal relations. From the research point of view, on the one hand, the points of view established in the economic sphere in the subject plane are analyzed, on the other hand, the normative positions established for the subjects of tourist legal relations. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion about the feasibility of an integrated approach that involves the use of an integral criterion for clustering tourist areas. The author rightly points out the expediency of assessing the presence/absence of tourism potential, which correlates with the need for state support of regions, in the system of geotourism zoning. Thus, the study substantiates and formulates an integrated approach to the spatial organization of tourist areas, based on the features of the federal state structure of the Russian Federation, on the one hand, and the legitimacy of the objective integral ranking coefficient, on the other. The analysis made it possible to form a basic version of the clustering of domestic regions, which can be used as a starting point for tourist zoning in the domestic legal system. Taking into account the research carried out, the work proposes enlarged clusters of the first level, the allocation of which is due to the expediency of state support, the implementation of further detailing of which is proposed to be carried out through financial and economic tools for assessing their tourism resources.
