Abstract

In the modern world, the successful development of the tourist region is impossible without a sustainable development concept. Several various external and internal factors influence the development of resort regions (territories). The role and effect of such factors may differ in strength and duration, as well as in their impact. These factors are systematized according to the influence on tourist regions’ sustainability. Indicators of sustainable development of resort areas are important for reflecting the state of the regional economy. Based on current approaches, the resort sustainability should be assessed with a comprehensive analysis of four groups of indicators: (1) socio-economic, (2) environmental, (3) tourist, and (4) anthropogenic load indicators. The authors develop an algorithm to build a simulation model designed to predict trends in the stability of tourist territories. The research shows that further development of resort region economy, infrastructure, and the creation of conditions for its accelerated and sustainable development is possible only based on regional sustainability strategies.
