Development Of Hotel Industry In Russia: Spatial Dynamics Of Principal Parameters
Gontareva E.F., Ruban D.A.
Abstract
The development of inbound tourism and increasing the number of international tourist arrivals is a highly important task for Russia. A well developed infrastructure is required for a successful solution of the task. The situation in the Russian tourism industry and hospitality is well known, but the development of complex models permitting to describe the character of the development of the hotel industry retains its significance. The aim of the present research is the study of the spatial dynamics of the main parameters of the development of the hotel industry in Russia. This work is based on the quantitative analysis of statistical data for 2009–2014. Three main parameters are examined, namely the number of persons accommodated in the collective accommodation facilities (CAF), the number of places in CAFs and the amount of paid services provided by CAFs. The calculation of indices of the spatial dynamics of these parameters is based on the calculation of the paired correlation coefficient. The results of the calculations show that the spatial dynamics of all main parameters of the development of the hotel industry in Russia is characterized by low intensity. This means the correspondence of the territories by the parameters of this industry has remained almost the same. The dynamics of the number of persons accommodated in CAFs and the number of places in CAFs are characterized by similarly low values of the relevant indices. However, the spatial changes in such a parameter as the amount of paid services provided by CAFs appear to be larger a bit. The relatively high intensity of the spatial dynamics is established for the Siberian Federal District. Further analysis of the results makes it possible to establish weak relationship between the individual parameters. Factors of the spatial dynamics of the main parameters of development of the hotel industry in Russia may be different. More specifically, these include the influence of regional economic processes. Sport tournaments and other big international events that required transformations in the hotel industry did not influence significantly the studied dynamics. Generally, it is concluded that the distribution of the studied parameters by regions changed only a little in 2009–2014, which indicates insufficient competitiveness of many regions as regards their hotel industry.
