The Conceptual Framework for Creating an Industrial Smart and Tourism Favoured Cluster for Sustainable Development of the Ukranian Region

Abstract

In the article authors investigated the conceptual framework for creating an industrial smart and tourism favoured cluster for the sustainable development of the Ukranian region. The best world experience of clustering is investigated in the article, and the benchmark smart-cluster, its characteristics and indicators are defined. Using the Bakanov-Sheremet method of distance from the standard, the authors determined the coefficients of deviation of the most promising Ukrainian clusters from the reference one and outlined the clusters for introducing industrial tourism in their structure. For visual perception, the research methodology is presented in the form of a logical sequence of stages indicating the research methods used. As a result, the authors developed a conceptual framework for creating an industrial smart cluster for sustainable development of the region and the development of industrial tourism proposed and an algorithm for evaluating alternatives to industrial tourism tools based on factors of significance. The results confirmed the hypotheses put forward in the study.
