Currently, one of the guarantors of the region’s economic stability is the development of tourism. The rapid growth of the tourism industry and significant cash receipts actively affect various segments of the economy and contribute to the formation of the tourism industry. The development of domestic tourism is a significant source of income for local economies, ensures the creation of jobs, promotes self-employment of the population, and contributes to the development of regions. In this vein, the study of the peculiarities of the development of domestic tourism in the regions and the increase of the competitiveness of tourist activity in the conditions of current realities is not just important, but urgent.

The essence of tourism is determined; it is substantiated that it affects the world economy and is dependent on crisis phenomena. It has been studied that our country is an attractive destination for tourism from all over the world; the tourism sector continues to need help with difficulties and focuses mainly on domestic tourism to safe regions. It is noted that the Odesa region is one of the most popular regions of Ukraine for tourism and recreation. Odesa’s tourist and recreational potential, the leading economic indicators of tourism such as the contribution to GDP, employment generation, and foreign exchange earnings, the dynamics of the number of subjects of tourist activity, and the dynamics of the payment of the tourist tax have been studied.
