The article attempts to prove the existence of a relationship between the level of development of creative industries in regional tourist centers and the level of development of the consumer market. In this context, the statistical data of three cities of the Golden Ring of Russia are studied: Ples, Suzdal and Myshkin. Based on the analysis of open data of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and Rosstat, the dependence of the dynamics of regional economic sectors related to the service of tourist flows on the level of development of the creative industry of the region is established. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are formulated for the development of creative clusters as drivers of regional economies.
