Abstract

In recent years, geopolitics has had a significant impact on absolutely all countries of the world and spheres of activity. The article indicates that emerging geopolitical conflicts both near borders and within states have an impact not only on politics and economics, but also on tourism (international tourist flows, hospitality). In Russia, these processes are most acute in connection with the conduct of a Special Military Operation. Within the framework of this study, the authors examined the interaction and mutual influence of geopolitics and tourism as a manifestation of “soft” and “hard” forces. The article focuses on the need for research in the field of tourism and geopolitics related to instability in the world, uncertainty of future world processes and increasing competition for world domination. The authors of the article note that many destabilizing factors simultaneously demonstrate the positive influence of geopolitics on the ongoing tourism processes, are an impulse to solve urgent problems, new challenges and positive changes.
