Abstract
The paper aims to analyze regional features of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of tour operating in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts (SFD and FEFD). The choice of the Siberian Federal District and the Far Eastern Federal District as the basis for the study is not accidental. On the one hand, efforts have been made in recent years to develop tourism in Siberia and the Far East. On the other hand, negative manifestations of the COVID-19 pandemic (self-isolation, reduced mobility, and falling inbound tourist flow) could be more pronounced in these regions due to remoteness and lower market capacity than in the regions of the European part of Russia. The relevance of this research is due to the key importance of tour operating for the development of the tourist market. The COVID-19 pandemic affected all segments of the tourist market. The research aims to analyze regional features of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of tour operating in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. A review of studies on the impact of COVID-19 on world and Russian (regional) tourism is presented. The author’s method of assessing the impact of the pandemic on the development of tour operators is proposed, which includes the analysis of the change in the volume and share of tour operators of regions in formation of revenues, the analysis of the change in the structure of distribution of market shares of tour operators of the regions and identification of changes in the level of monopolization of the market of tour operator services. The information base of the research included data on the revenue of 675 organizations listed in the Unified Federal Register of Tour Operators of Russia. Spatial shifts in the tourism market in the federal districts under the influence of restrictive measures are registered.
