Аннотация:One of the pronounced trends in the modern societal development is digitalization in every sphere of activity: over 6.62 billion people use the Internet for communication, business, and entertainment, including travel. Tourism has suffered greatly during the pandemic, with many countries not receiving their planned revenues due to epidemiological restrictions; however, now the industry is recovering, among other things through digitalization. The assessed experience of Bulgaria, Germany, and China showed that digitalization of tourism occurs in each country, although with different speed and reliance on different indicators. The study analyzed methods for assessing the mutual impact of digitalization processes and the tourism industry development. As the most optimal, The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) was adapted for the public domain data from Russian statistical reporting. Analysis of the resulting digitalization index was conducted in ten regions of Russia with different levels of tourist development. The correlation between the calculated Regional Digitalization Index and the number of tourists accommodated in hotels showed a direct strong relationship, made possible predicting the development of tourism through digital processes, drafting strategic plans for the development of the industry taking into account modern digital tools, and calculating effective measures of state support and financing.
