Abstract

This article examines the current state and dynamics of the country's tourism industry. Attention is paid to the analysis of the tourist infrastructure, as well as the influence of external factors on it. As there has been an increase in interest in tourism services in recent years, new development opportunities are opening up. However, existing problems such as insufficient infrastructure, limited marketing efforts, and a shortage of qualified personnel are also being identified. The purpose of this work is to analyze the main problems of the tourism industry development and develop practical recommendations for ensuring sustainable growth of the tourism and hospitality industry in order to increase competitiveness at the national and international levels. The results of this analysis can be useful both for government agencies responsible for tourism development and for representatives of the private sector seeking to improve the quality of services and increase competitiveness. It is important to note that the successful development of this area contributes not only to economic stability, but also to strengthening the country's image in the international arena.
