SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING OF TOURIST TERRITORY MANAGEMENT

Trifonova G. P.

The article focuses on the problem of improving the management of tourist territories in the context of sustainable development requirements. Based on a comparative analysis of the international IDM model (using the TALC example) and the domestic model for specially protected natural areas (SPNAs), their conceptual similarities and functional shortcomings are identified. As a result of the study, employing socio-political philosophy, a set of new functions aimed at integrating sustainability principles, digitalization potential, and socio-cultural significance is proposed. The key proposed functions include the implementation of a digital destination management platform, climate-resilient planning, as well as gamification mechanisms and startup support. The implementation of these functions lays the foundation for building a more adaptive, technologically advanced, and balanced management model capable of effectively responding to modern economic, environmental, and social challenges.
