It seems productive to additionally take into account the presence in developed countries of
cultural clusters that are more capacious in terms of social competences [1].
The degree of development of consulting in tourism. Consulting is in many ways an indicative
sub-industry of the tourism and hospitality industry, since it appears at such a stage in the
formation of this industry (as a rule, at the stage of cluster development), when some critical
mass of solvent needs for professional expertise and adjustment of business processes in the
industry has already been accumulated.
According to this criterion, developed countries are far ahead of many developing countries in
terms of the presence of "superspecialists" and visionaries who are able to be an important factor
of competitiveness within tourism clusters.
This has been happening over the past 20 years in leading countries in the field of tourism thanks
to strategic, conceptual consulting at the stage of business design, as well as optimization of
individual business processes within the so-called PSOM (Professional Service Operations
Management) [11].
If consulting is productive, then in the tourism and hospitality industry, consulting increases the
profitability of the business, and the business sees a positive return from consulting and uses it to
an even greater extent; such effects of the upward spiral of the tourism and hospitality industry
have been found especially in Spain [6] and the United Kingdom.
CONCLUSION
There is reason to believe that Russia, according to the criteria proposed for consideration in the
article, is, in many respects, a developing country as a whole and in the context of the specifics
of the development of the tourism and hospitality industry. A more detailed correlation of the
characteristic features of the development of tourism and hospitality in developed and
developing countries with the processes that are taking place in Russia for a kind of
"diagnostics" of the current situation and the identification of prospects for foresight could be of
interest.
It would also be important to determine which elements of the international experience of which
countries are most likely and / or desirable to act as a proxy model for predicting trends in the
Russian tourism and hospitality industry.
The criteria presented in the publication could form the basis of a certain analytical matrix for
analyzing trends and features of the development of the national tourism system. It could serve
as a good complement to the expert assessments of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness
Report, since there is reason to believe that the report of the World Economic Forum still does
not sufficiently analyze and, most importantly, conceptualize some important essential
characteristics and trends in the development of the tourism and hospitality industry.
However, such a task, apparently, was not set within the framework of this report, proceeding
from the very technocratic approach of the World Economic Forum researchers. However, the
technocratic ranking approach cannot be exhaustive and self-sufficient for the purposes of a full-
fledged foresight.
