The volume highlights the search for an effective strategic development strategy as one of the priorities of the socioeconomic development of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD), taking a scientific and economic approach that considers industry specifics. To substantiate the strategic priorities of tourism development, the authors use applied methodology for assessing the tourist potential, employing an OTSW (opportunities-threats-strengths-weaknesses) analysis and methods for classifying and grouping regions. This study is aimed at solving a fundamental scientific problem: determining the strategies of priorities for spatial development of a macroregion in a broad direction, aimed at diversifying the economic structure of a region, using the Russian Far East as an example.
