Safe Development of the Tourism Industry in the European Space

The article considers the theoretical, methodological, and practical basis for the safe development of the tourism industry in the European space. The segments of safe development of the tourism industry between European Union (EU) countries have been identified, taking into account the factors of the internal and external environment of the tourist space. It is proved that the concept of cluster approach provides a secure competitive business and is based on the use of agglomerations, and network structures in enhancing the innovative development of tourism clusters in the EU. The structure of the EU Competitiveness Index in the safe environment of the tourism industry is determined. The number of tourism sub-regional clusters in EU member states is analyzed. The relationship between the EU Competitiveness Index in the tourism industry and its sub-indices is assessed. The optimal volume and growth rates of national income from travel in EU sub-regional clusters have been determined. The projected share of the total contribution of sub-regional clusters of EU countries to the national income from the tourism industry is calculated. The distribution of sub-regional clusters according to the degree of influence of sub-indices of safe development of the tourism industry between the EU countries is carried out.
