Abstract
Dependence of the tourist flow on the area of specially protected natural territories of the islands
Incoming article date: 21.12.2024Based on statistical data, the article presents a solution to the problem of finding an empirical function that establishes a link between the tourist flow and the proportion of the area of specially protected areas from the total territory of the island. For the analysis, data was collected on 14 islands with a developed tourism industry. Power functions are obtained for two groups of islands with different areas. The obtained dependencies make it possible, at the stage of urban planning analysis of the territory, to determine the permissible value of the tourist flow, which ensures tourist activity based on the principles of sustainable tourism. Using this function, the maximum value of the allowable tourist flow for the island of Socotra has been set, the development of which is focused on the tourism industry.
