In this connection, consideration is given to the possibilities of developing the tourism industry as the most important direction of non-primary exports in the medium term in digital age, capable not only of bringing significant revenues to the budgets of various levels, developing domestic tourist infrastructure, but also characterized by inexhaustible resources and forming a favorable image of the country on world markets. The purpose of this article is to consider the problems of preservation and financial support of the travel, tourism and hospitality industry from the standpoint of increasing its export potential in digital age and ensuring a high level of attractiveness of tourist destinations.
