Resume

The importance of tourism for economic, social and cultural development of any country becomes more relevant with each year. Tourism is one of the most growing economy spheres that shows the dynamics and scales of coherent social and sustainable development of civilization. Many countries, provinces and regions have achieved the complex socio-economic development and the development of tourism economy. The tourism market parameters provided by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) for 2017 show that over 1.3 billion persons managed to undertake at least one trip to another country. Tourism grew by 7% compared to 2016. Therefore, the global economic input of tourism sphere accounted for 8600 billion USD (11 % of global GDP). The dynamics of touristic flows of Ukraine and Poland are analyzed and on this basis, the trends of tourism sphere development in both countries are defined. The rates of dynamics of foreign tourists in Ukraine and Poland in 2011-2017 are outlined. The top ten countries, which generate most tourists, are determined and the dynamics of the number of their arrivals in Ukraine and Poland is examined. The share of foreign tourists across regions in Ukraine and Poland is calculated. The paper argues that the visits of foreigners are of different nature and depend on territorial affiliation of a certain region, i.e. its geographic location and historical significance. The processes of development of regional tourists markets in Ukraine and Poland across the infrastructure of tourists’ accommodation, namely the hotels and hotel facilities, are examined. The author proves that complicated conditions of doing business in general and tourism business in particular and insufficient and outdated infrastructure are among the most important factors hampering the development of tourism services market in Ukraine. Comparative analysis of Ukraine and Poland in this matter testifies to this. The lack of necessary investment for tourism development – both internal and external – is another problem of tourism development.
