Tourist recreational complex in the system of socioeconomic development of Krasnodar region
Abstract: Due to the growth of economic activity of a man and significant change of the environment, there is an urgent need to evaluate its condition and level of its suitability for the man and other living things. The reviving of the economy and improvement of socio-economic component can be done by direct capital investments in the development of recreation.
Keywords: tourist recreational complex, socio-economic development, Krasnodar region, geo-system, tourism.
Today, tourism is one of the most dominating and rapidly developing industries of the economy of Krasnodar region that attracts millions of tourists by its extraordinary combination of recreation at the sea side or in the mountains together with therapeutic procedures and treatment by way of wide use of healing muds and local mineral water [2].
Until recently, one could recognize the following tendencies in the development of Krasnodar region as a recreational zone: the growth of the volume of services of establishments of resort and tourist complex was observed; the volume of recreational and health-related services was increasing; there was the growth in the volume of hotel services. In order to develop the industry attracting holiday-makers, increase budget response, the works aimed at the following were performed in the region: development of production base, improvement of advertising campaign, creation of the system of recording of the activity of entrepreneurs rendering services on accommodation for holiday-makers. The prospect of development of Krasnodar region as a resort mainly depends on the quality and diversity of its unique natural medicinal resources. The development of tourism inevitably implies positive and negative consequences for the environment. The development of recreational sphere is determined by many factors both natural and socio-economic. Their role changes at different stages ofdevelopment depending on the level of recreational system and its interaction with the nature and social systems. The formation and development of recreational sphere has taken place in the conditions of planned administrative system for long [5].
Due to the growth of economic activity of a man and significant change of the environment, there is an urgent
need to evaluate its condition and level of its suitability for the man and other living things [3]. The environment can be considered by both, separate components (atmosphere, water, soil and biota) and landscapes in the whole. Reference to landscapes as integral multi-component geo-systems occurs due to the fact that, firstly, the entire complex of interacting components and inter-component ties is viewed; secondly, all happening or expected changes and consequences are recorded. Environment and resource reproducing functions, which are important for humans and vulnerable to manmade effect, also depend on properties and condition of landscapes. Landscapes in the normal undisturbed state can perform these functions fully. If the natural components are disturbed, the fulfillment of the named functions becomes incomplete or stops at all. This naturally leads to losses (damage): depletion of natural resources, growth of incidence of disease among population etc. [6].
It is necessary to study the interrelation and inter-influence of tourist recreational complex and general socio-economic development of the region and reveal regularities and main principles of the process. The conduct of such works presupposes the solution of the following tasks: development of methodical recommendations on the evaluation of the impact of tourist recreational complex in socio-economic development of the territory; development of methodological bases of integral evaluation of the level of usage of recreational potential; making a forecast of socio-economic development of the region taking into account the impact of tourist recreational complex.
The main methods of research can be general scientific, natural scientific and special methods. The processing of

statistical information should be performed on the basis of quantitative methods. Spatial models of the studied objects will be formed with the help of modelling. Geo-informational method will allow obtaining combined, multi-dimensional, volumetric and dynamic presentations of the studied phenomena and processes. Special methods of research include the methods of cognition of potential opportunities of tourist business, including the method of abstraction that enables to reveal typical ties and relations in tourism abstracting oneself from the variety of particulars. In the course of approbation of results obtained in the process of research, the use of private methods during the researches in the tourist activity applicable to solve the concrete tasks on professional improvement of separate enterprises will become useful.
Traditionally, in the socio-economic system of the south of Russia, recreational sphere is one of the fundamental and priority spheres that define the «face» of the region in the general national labor division. The development of recreation in the Southern Federal District of Russia is also encouraged by natural recreational resources: natural zones, climate conditions, usage of all most all kinds of mineral water, healing muds and ecologically clean landscapes [4].
Own recreational specialization, primarily medicinal and health-improving, has been formed in Krasnodar region.
The development of ecological tourism (specially protected natural territories, mountain districts etc.) can become one of the new directions. The reviving of the economy of the region and improvement of socio-economic component can be done by direct capital investments in the development of recreation.
The performance of all these processes will allow removing the socio-economic tension in the region significantly and become one of the factors of its sustainable development. Currently, Kuban region is the leading tourist center of Russia and the potential of its development is not exhausted. The natural conditions of Russia are unique and ahead of the neighboring tourist-oriented countries. The ecology in most districts is better and the wonderful monuments of ancient architecture and ethnography are preserved. The prospects of development of different kinds of national tourism and tourist complex of the country largely depend on the strengthening of state regulation of the tourist industry at general national and regional level. The actual tasks and problems with regard to the development of resort and tourist complex of Krasnodar region as well as separate tourist enterprises functioning at regional level should be based on the effective realization of resort and tourist potential at a profit for local budgets and increase of the quality of life of the population living in resorts [1].
