Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
In this article the basic methodological approaches to calculate the total tourist flow to the territory of Moscow, including Russian tourists and foreign tourists arrivals, are given. The limitations of existing methods for tourist flow assessment, which are adopted at the federal level, are considered. The possibility to use transport statistics and statistics of tourist accommodations in the process of calculation is discussed. Correction coefficients (coefficients of "addition" and coefficients of "deduction"), which give the opportunity to calculate the volumes of inbound and outbound tourist flows are proposed. The paper presents the volume and structure of the total tourism consumption on the territory of Moscow as of the end 2015, and the assessment of the contribution of the tourism industry into the economy of Moscow is given.
Key words. Methodology, tourism, tourist flow, transport statistics, tourists accommodation statistics, tourism consumption, the direct contribution of tourism to the GRP.
