This article is devoted to some theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of sustainable eco-tourism.
The authors present a methodology for using financial indicators to assess the value of companies. The article is dedicated to a comprehensive research of EBITDA. As a research objective, the authors identified an attempt to solve the problem of companies’comparability with identical proportions of financial results, the possibility of identifying the most financially stable companies. Based on the analysis of various interpretations, applying of this indicator in different directions is considered. As a component of various coefficients that characterize the company’s financial stability, it’s recommended to use the EBITDA indicator. The behooves and opportunities that open up when using it are revealed. The research shows to the need to apply this indicator, because this coefficient is able to more fully reveal the stability of the company, by increasing the amount of real profit, the amount of which is limited due to the presence of a large share of non-cash expenses in companies. In the process of research, such general scientific methods as monitoring, comparison, description, systematic and analytical approach, comparative analysis, scientific abstraction, expert assessment, analysis of reasons and consequences were used.
One of the most acute problems in the healthcare industry – the problem of the quality of medical services. In this area, there is no established definition of medical services or approaches to quality management. The aim of the article is to analyze the existing definitions of “quality of medical services,” as well as development approach to managing medical organization. At the same time the management of the medical organization should be focused on ensuring the quality as the most important criterion for the organization. Methodology of the study is based on analysis and grouping of existing definitions of medical services, the factorial approach to evaluating the quality and organization of the process approach to management of the medical organization. Noting the versatility and diversity concepts of quality of care the authors suggest grouping of direct and indirect factors affecting the quality of medical services. However, it is important, according to the authors, to move from functional management to management based on the process approach, which provides better control over the processes of customer service. Is given process model of quality management of health services and highlights the main groups of processes in the medical organization.
Modern social and economic science pays little attention to the development of tourism based on new approaches to its management and organization. As a result, the most important sector of the economy develops in practice on the basis of not always effective traditional models. The research problem of the development of a new approach to the organization of tourism products with cross-border nature is developed in this article. The purpose was to develop a methodological toolkit for the development of cross-border tourism based on the cluster approach. To achieve this goal, the study design was based on the study of tourism features that affect the planning and clustering process. The highlighted stages of clustering in the form of identifying tourism objects, designing clusters, forming cluster structures form the basis of a new socio-economic model of the tourism industry. To design a regional cross-border tourism cluster, a method is substantiated and applied to correlate all indicators of cluster tourism development to the number of cultural and historical objects. The selected 19 indicators of development are combined into 6 groups, which make it possible to comprehensively assess the cluster organization of tourism in the region. The approbation of the indicators was carried out on the example of all five countries of the Central Asian section of the Silk Road. Model calculations of the developed set of analytical cluster indicators made it possible to combine the identified objects in each region into homogeneous clusters. In this case, Ward’smethod was used, and the square of the Euclidean distance was used as the objective function and criterion of similarity and difference. The proposed cluster maps make it possible to activate and increase the competitiveness of the tourism product as a whole and give impetus to socio-economic development in each country of the Central Asian region. Key words: tourism, tourism competitiveness, social and economic development of the region, the Silk Road, tourism cluster, cluster design.
