| Summary: | The relevance of the study lies in the fact that tourism is the leading area of activity in many countries of the world, since its development allows using the most valuable natural resources in economic circulation, create new jobs, activate investment operations, improve the environmental and socio-economic situation. Despite the actualisation of the problem under study, the Western regional market of tourist services is understudied, namely regarding the socio-economic activity and mechanisms for its regulation. This study employed the following research methods: analysis, statistical, mathematical, and cartographic methods. The paper also incorporates statistical data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economic Development of Ukraine, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, the Ministry of Social Policy, the Ministry of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, etc. This study substantiates the level of socio-economic competitiveness of the Western regional market of tourist services, analyses numerous studies of foreign and Ukrainian researchers. The main results of the study lie in the determination of an integral assessment of the competitiveness of the Western regional market of tourist services. For this purpose, the author of this study used the all-Ukrainian indicators for assessing the socio-economic development of regions. The analysis indicated that during 2015-2018, the objects under study (Volynska, Rivnenska, Ternopilska, and Lvivska oblasts) improved their level of integral competitiveness in the tourist services market. It remains critically low, although it is gradually growing. The prospects for further research include the investigation of the processes of socio-economic activity and determination of an integral assessment of competitiveness in the tourist services market in other regions of Ukraine |
