Аннотация

An important factor in the development of tourism within transboundary territories may be unique
tourist resources, or special areas. Border territories often turn into gambling zones, especially in those cases when
the industry of gambling entertainment is prohibited in neighboring countries. In addition, a tourist product can be
formed on the basis of unique tourist resources, united by a common idea or historical plot. You can get to know
them only by traveling from a neighboring or nearby country. Tourists are attracted to the border space by duty-free
trade, a large selection of goods, lower prices, convenient opening hours.
