INSTITUTIONAL DETERMINANTS OF RESOURCE PROVISION FOR UKRAINE'S TOURISM SECTOR WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

Анотація

The sustainable development and competitiveness of the Ukrainian tourism sector is no longer determined solely by the presence of tourism potential. Instead, it is determined by the capacity of institutions to ensure the effective provision, mobilisation and allocation of resources. In this study, resource provision in tourism is conceptualised as an integrated system encompassing financial, infrastructural, human, natural and digital assets. The coordinated use of these assets enables destination development and resilience. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) represent a significant mechanism for the expansion of this resource base, as they facilitate the attraction of investment, the sharing of risks, and the establishment of long-term co-operation among key stakeholders. However, the extent to which PPPs contribute to the enhancement of resource provision is contingent on institutional determinants, including regulatory clarity, administrative competence, strategic coherence across governance levels, and the stability of coordination platforms. This article examines the institutional framework for providing resources in Ukraine's tourism sector, clarifying the distinct roles of government bodies, local authorities, private enterprises, and destination management organisations in mobilising and allocating resources. The analysis shows that the fragmentation of responsibilities, procedural complexity and uneven local capacity hinder the effective implementation of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and restrict the integration of available resources into sustainable development strategies. The study's findings have led to the formulation of specific recommendations for enhancing the institutional mechanism of resource provision. These recommendations include the following: the streamlining of PPP regulatory procedures, the introduction of capacity-building programmes for local authorities, the strengthening of the institutional and financial status of destination management organisations, and the expansion of co-financing and guarantee instruments to stimulate private investment. The implementation of these measures would enhance the coherence of resource flows, reinforce investment attractiveness, and support resilient, innovation-driven tourism development in Ukraine.
