Social order: portrait of tour operators performing services on social certificates

The article presents an approach to the formation of a portrait of tour operators providing services using social certificates. The paper substantiates the expediency of using financial indicators characterizing the scale of organizations’ activities and indicators evaluating their own financial resources within the framework of the considered approach. The bill adopted in the first reading by the State Duma on amendments to Federal Law No. 189-FZ dated 07/13/2020 “On State (Municipal) Social Order for the provision of State (Municipal) services in the social sphere” indicates that temporary restrictions on the operation of this law will be lifted and it will extend to the entire territory of the Russian Federation. In this regard, regions that did not participate in the pilot testing of new mechanisms for organizing the provision of state (municipal) services will need to make appropriate management decisions in the field of social ordering. The formed portrait of tour operators performing social certificate services will allow the executive authorities in these subjects of the Russian Federation to assess the likelihood of competition in the tourism sector and make an informed decision on the expediency of introducing a mechanism for social certificates in this area.
