Dear readers! We present to your attention the final issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2024. We have tried to make it rich and interesting. Today, many Russian companies operate under strict sanctions restrictions, which force them to reorient logistics flows. One of the possible solutions to this problem may be the Russia – Mongolia – China economic corridor. Details can be found in the article by Alexandra Kazunina.
Oleg Nikolayevich Kurbatov, Editor in Chief, Ph.D. in Geography, addressed to the readers of the journal from the pages of the sixth issue of the “LOGISTICS” journal, dedicated to the logistics of tourism. According to him, in recent years the tourist industry has become one of the most dynamically developing branches in the Russian economy. Closure of the most popular places (Turkey, Egypt, Ukraine) for domestic tourists and the weakening of the national currency has forced to reallocate the investments in favor of the accelerated development of tourist infrastructure within the country, which has led to the growth of inbound tourism, import substitution among the Russian tourists and to the reorientation of the Russian population to the domestic market. There appeared real preconditions to take maximum advantage of the huge tourist potential of the Russian Federation to create a competitive product. All these entailed a change in logistics of tourist flows and related service industries. According to O.N. Kurbatov, the sixth issue of the journal is dedicated to trying to estimate all these processes.
The central materials of the issue are the two interviews: with Alexei Ovcharenko, the organizer of the “Times and Epochs” festival in Moscow and Alexei Tikhnenko, Head of hotel facilities management in the Department of the national policy, inter-regional relations and tourism of Moscow. In his interview Ovcharenko says about the main trends and prospects in the field of event tourism in Moscow; and we speak with Alexei Tikhnenko about the development and the problems of the hotel sector in the capital.
In their article “Comparative analysis of the indicators of collective accommodation facilities functioning in the individual regions of Russia” Sergei Shpilko and Alexei Yakovlev examined the existing methods of constructing the international and Russian tourist rating, defined the place of Moscow as a tourist destination.
The article “Analysis of the dynamics and structure of passenger traffic through Moscow transport hub: statistics of passenger traffic by air and rail transport” written by Yuliya Kislova and Anna Kazunina will also be interesting for the readers. It analyzes the transport statistics data characterizing the volume of passenger traffic in the Moscow region.
Tatiana Rodkina continues the theme of tourism in her article “Features of flow processes and their parameters in the tourist logistics”. The author examines the current state of the tourism industry in the Russian Federation, reveals the peculiarities of flow processes and their basic parameters in the tourism industry. The journal also reflects the methodology and the research results of the structure of tourist flows coming to Vologda, research of the experience of global cities as key elements in the spatial organization of the world tourism industry, problems and prospects of the Russian market of tourist services.
In general, the “LOGISTICS” journal often asks urgent questions and finds solutions to many pressing problems, related to the development of tourism business in Russia and its logistics. We invite scientists and engineers, who are interested in solving different problems, to take an active part in the work of the journal.
