Abstract
Aim. The presented study aims to build a structural model of a regional sanatorium-resort complex (SRC), to determine the role of the government and local authorities in the development of the SRC, and to formulate recommendations for the development of the regional SRC as a component of the regional economic complex.Tasks. The authors consider different approaches to determining the structure and identifying the elements of the regional SRC; build an original model of regional SRC structure; determine the role of the government and local authorities in solving the problems of regional SRC development; formulate recommendations for the development of the SRC of the St. Petersburg agglomeration and identify its features.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition, structural economic analysis, and modeling to determine the socio-economic essence, basic structural elements, specific features of operation and development of a regional SRC.Results. From an economic perspective, the SRC is an element of the regional economic complex and a component of the region’s tourist and recreational complex. The natural curative resources of the territory are the backbone element of the SRC while its core consists of its products, organizations that produce them, resort infrastructure, and regional authorities. The SRC cannot function without adequate regulatory and normative-value support or development of an appropriate institutional environment. Without government support and significant efforts of regional authorities, there will be no effective SRC development in the regions.Conclusions. A study of the structure and features of SRC development in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region makes it possible to conclude that it is necessary to develop the SRC of the two regions within the framework of agglomeration collaboration. Key areas of cooperation may include forecasting and strategic planning of SRC development, ensuring information support of decision-making processes, building an effective system of communication with manufacturers, consumers, and intermediaries in the spa services market, human resourcing, and attracting investors interested in projects related to SRC development.
