TIME DESCRIPTION OF ECONOMIC REFORMS

Formulation of the problem. World history contains many sad facts related to political conflicts, which over time turn into open armed confrontation within individual regions of different countries. Reintegration of such territories into the socio-economic system of the country may remain an impossible task, so determining the prospects for the development of the region with the help of leading sectors of the economy, in particular tourism, is an urgent problem. The aim of the research: analysis of existing international experience, determination of economic and social prerequisites for the development of post-conflict territories by tourism means on the example of eastern Ukraine. The subject of the research: theoretical and applied aspects of using tourism industry tools for the development of post-conflict territories. The methods of the research: systematic approach, structural-logical and statistical analysis, synthesis, generalization. The hypothesis of the research: involves the use of an approach whereby tourism development is considered as an alternative strategy for restoring socio-economic well-being for the region's inhabitants. The statement of basic materials: review of previous research and current historical facts about solving the problems of post-conflict territories revealed four negative and four positive prerequisites, the existence of which substantiates the expediency of using tourism industry tools for the development of such problem regions. The originality and practical significance of the research: the results of this study, conducted according to the data of Lugansk and Donetsk region, prove that tourism will not become a leading sector of economy for these regions, but its intra-regional development will be a catalyst for recovery of other economy branches. Conclusions and prospects for further research: given the existing skepticism about tourism development opportunities in the Donbas, the following studies will focus on the reasonable feasibility of developing certain tourism types in this region of our country.
