Abstract

This scientific article provides a research-based analysis of the role and
significance of tourism in the socio-economic development of a country and its regions. The paper
examines the definitions of "tourism" given by local and foreign scholars, as well as the impact of
tourism on gross domestic product (economic growth), the country's trade and payment balance,
exports and imports, the state budget, investment activity, economic sectors, total income and
employment, the business environment, the green and digital economy, and other macroeconomic
indicators. The study analyzes the role of tourism in regional development, its importance in
attracting investments, and its contribution to supporting local entrepreneurship. Based on the
research findings, scientific and practical recommendations for ensuring sustainable tourism
development have been proposed.
This article is of theoretical and practical significance for researchers in the field of tourism,
specialists in economics and regional development, as well as policymakers in tourism policy.
