FORESIGHT IN THE FIELD OF TOURIST SERVICES

Abstract

This article reveals the concept of foresight through three clearly oriented actions: thinking, discussion and construction. It is established that foresight is not a prediction, but a creation, i.e. the possibility of designing a real future that is feasible, including for the tourism sector; and forms a model for organizing foresight and forecasting activities for the development of the industry. The issues of the organization of foresight activities in relation to the development of tourist services are studied. The study used general scientific methods such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping of information, modeling, abstraction and forecasting. Practical steps of organizing foresight activities within the framework of foresight mechanisms for the development of tourist services are proposed.
