The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the development of various economic sectors at the global and macroeconomic levels. One of the most affected sectors is the tourism sector.

Economic and statistical analysis has shown that in one of the most promising regions in terms of tourism - the Republic of Dagestan, the deterioration of the indicators of this sector of the economy and related industries occurred to a lesser extent than in many other regions. In the «post-pandemic» period, the region's tourism sector is recovering rapidly. This is facilitated by the implementation of a number of strategic planning documents at the federal and regional levels. Further prospects of tourism development in the Republic of Dagestan are associated with the implementation of cluster policy in the tourism and recreational sphere. Scope of application. State regulation of the service sector in the regions of Russia.
