“…Irina Dragileva, Elena Kropinova, Andrei Manakov and other authors investigate in their works transboundary region building in the Baltic area in terms of tourism and recreation. They have described the essence, features, factors and patterns of TTRR building at macro-, meso-and micro-levels identified the most effective tools of transboundary cooperation in tourism and proposed a typology of Baltic TTRRs [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Svetlana Kondratyeva (Stepanova) has evaluated the potential for crossborder interactions between neighbouring regions in the north of the Baltic macroregion [9; 10].…”

This paper examines the transformation of the territorial structure of tourism in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The spatial and temporal organisation of tourism in these countries has undergone significant changes since they became independent and joined the EU. These changes have affected the geography of tourist flows and destinations of interest. This study aims to define the geographical and economic peculiarities of the development of tourism in the Baltic States and to identify the central, peripheral and semi-peripheral regions. Elements of the centre-periphery structure were identified through cluster analysis covering the period 2009—2019. Eleven indicators were used to determine the level of socio-economic development, the state of inbound and domestic tourism and the degree of transport infrastructure development. The results of the study suggest that there have been progressive changes in the territorial structure of tourism in the Baltic States. The main centres of attraction are the capitals and their adjacent territories. Horizontal contacts with more developed regions of the EU states and vertical interaction with other regions of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have a significant impact on the development of tourism activities. Central regions are dominant in terms of attracting tourist flows. This is characteristic of a highly polarized tourism structure. However, many semi-peripheral and peripheral regions have lately improved their position, being integrated into national and cross-border tourism routes and increasing outreach in the tourism market.

Despite that fact that cross-border tourism and recreation in the Baltic Sea Region have been extensively studied, there are still areas, which require further research. The aim of this article is to identify regions having active cross-border tourism and recreation in the adjacent territories of Finland and the Republic of Karelia. The authors propose to use an indicator characterizing the volume of incoming tourist flows. The number of tourists is not only indicative of the development of cross-border tourism and recreation; it is also one of the main criteria for determining the degree of the formation of cross-border regions. Using the statistics for Finland, the authors analyzed the geography of tourism in Finland’s border areas and identified the degree of intensity of cross-border tourism exchange between the neighbouring administrative units of the two countries. The article also examines other tendencies indicative of the formation and development of cross-border tourism and recreation regions along the Russian-Finnish border. The authors identified three cross-border tourism and recreation regions of different development levels: South Karelia, Middle Karelia and North Karelia. South Karelia is a mesoregion with the average annual tourist exchange of about 100 thousand people, which is the average level of tourism development. The total volume of cross-border tourist flows from and to other cross-border tourist and recreation regions is about 30 thousand people per year. Middle Karelia microregion ranks second and is followed by the North Karelian microregion. The authors conclude that these two microregions are at the initial stage of their formation and, therefore, can be regarded as parts of one microregion — Russian-Finnish Northern microregion.

The Baltic Sea Region There are different approaches to the definition of the Baltic region. They depend on the objectives of the study. We will consider the Baltic region as the territory of countries with access to the Baltic Sea. Sustainable Tourism There are different approaches toward the definition of the term "sustainable tourism." The most commonly used is close to the general definition of the sustainable development but applying not to all the population, but just to visitors who must respect and preserve the environment in the destination for future travelers. However, 1 day each of us becomes "a visitor." Another approach defining it stresses the triangular essence of the term, based on economic, social, and environmental impacts, arising during travel "addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities" (Making Tourism More Sustainable: A Guide for Policy Makers 2005). So, it is possible to underline that there are two sides of the sustainability as far as tourism is concerned: internal sustainability, connected to tourist himself (his/her feeling, behavior, attitude, etc.) and external (connected to the socioeconomic, political consequence of travel). Transborder or Transboundary Tourist-Recreational Region It could be considered as the compactly located territories of neighboring regions of neighboring countries that have a common tourist resource that ensures the functioning of territorial combinations of economic entities united by substantial ties (Kropinova 2016, 2020a).
