This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of the world economy indicates the growth of its integration and integrity through the deepening of specialization and cooperation of countries and business entities. Integration appears as an inevitable, objectively determined process that covers most spheres of economic life in the world, and takes place according to its own laws, general principles and goals, taking into account the various grounds, conditions and levels of such integration. Today, we can observe two mutually exclusive features of integration processes: globalization of the world economy and simultaneous national protectionism, which has gained considerable influence in the last decade. We are observing, on the one hand, the strengthening of integration processes in the world economy in all spheres of social life, there is a reassessment of the system of risks for the modern state and, most importantly, we are witnessing an increasing pragmatism of relations between countries, the basis of which is dominated by economic factors. At the same time, significant changes are taking place in the field of hospitality and tourism. The diversification of hospitality and tourism services, the development of the hospitality and tourism industry in new territories and competition in the market require the governments of different countries to reconsider their attitude to the development of this industry and to approach the development of its strategy more seriously. In modern conditions, the governments of many countries pay more attention to the formation of strategies for the development of regions, including strategies for the development of the hospitality and tourism industry. Considering the fact that the field of hospitality has changed significantly in recent years and continues to change, we have seen modern trends in the field of tourism and the hospitality industry, which are definitely relevant. The strategy for the development of the hospitality sector should harmoniously complement the socio-economic strategy of the country and combine the solution of priority socio-economic tasks: increasing the scientific, technical and innovative potential; increasing investment attractiveness and economic stability; improving the quality of life of residents. It should be noted that the first sector of the world economy affected by the global pandemic of COVID-19 is tourism. In the current conditions of the global pandemic, it is obvious that tourism is losing employees and customers due to the impossibility of flights to different countries and the risk of contracting the disease from COVID-19. Nevertheless, even in this situation, you can find a way out: to reorient from outbound tourism to domestic tourism and discover your country from a completely different side. At the same time, the economic consequences of the war in Ukraine are felt all over the world. Russian aggression has put pressure on global commodity prices, exacerbated disruptions in supply chains, and fueled inflation in most countries around the world. The world economy will lose a trillion dollars this year alone due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The presence of unsolved problems and the contradictions of certain issues, the theoretical and practical significance of researching the management processes of enterprises in the tourism sphere and the hotel and restaurant business determined the choice of the topic of the collective monograph. The topic of the study was chosen taking into account the importance for the development of the tourism sphere and the hotel and restaurant industry of Ukraine of the processes of unification and integration of enterprises, the formation of new formats and management structures in accordance with the objective requirements of world hospitality standards. The authors offer a monograph that is a summary of scientific searches and achievements regarding the results of research work of the Department of Management of Foreign Economic Activity, Hotel and Restaurant Business and Tourism of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University on the initiative topic "Problems and prospects of the development of the hotel, restaurant and tourism industry in the conditions of integration processes".
