Development of the tourism industry of the Kaliningrad region in numbers and key indicators

The tourism industry is one of the important parts of the economic sector. Its importance grows from year to year, equal to the contribution it makes to the country's budget. More and more often, one can find opinions that in the foreseeable future, tourism can make a significant contribution to the economic growth of both individual regions and the state as a whole. Today, all tourism activities are summed up with other sectors of the economy when calculating GRP, but it is important not only to have a quantitative idea, but also to give a qualitative assessment of the development of the industry. In many ways, statistical analysis helps to do this. However, the available statistical data are not always homogeneous and collected in a timely manner, which makes it difficult to work with them. Nevertheless, statistical data currently remain the main tool for forming various forecasts, ranging from short-term prospects to large-scale long-term forecasts, which form the basis of many regional development programs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the key indicators of tourism in the Kaliningrad region, which will identify key development trends and prospects for the future.
