In this article the basic methodological approaches to calculate the total tourist flow to the territory of Moscow, including Russian tourists and foreign tourists arrivals, are given. The limitations of existing methods for tourist flow assessment, which are adopted at the federal level, are considered. The possibility to use transport statistics and statistics of tourist accommodations in the process of calculation is discussed. Correction coefficients (coefficients of "addition" and coefficients of "deduction"), which give the opportunity to calculate the volumes of inbound and outbound tourist flows are proposed. The paper presents the volume and structure of the total tourism consumption on the territory of Moscow as of the end 2015, and the assessment of the contribution of the tourism industry into the economy of Moscow is given.

Key words. Methodology, tourism, tourist flow, transport statistics, tourists accommodation statistics, tourism consumption, the direct contribution of tourism to the GRP.

The article discusses systemic aspects of the methodology of systems engineering methodology as applied to the field of logistics and supply chain management. Logistics Engineering is an effective method of integration in the management of complex organizational and technical objects in relation to the field of logistics systems. A feature of the method is the integration process with the stages of the life cycle of transport and logistics systems and supply chains in a bad situation with intermodal and multimodal transport.
