The impact this industry can have is presented by a wide variety of public and business initiatives in Ukraine, which have to be successfully implemented. Efficient management has become one of the most critical success factors for any business in today's fast changing world. Therefore, it is impossible to progress without modification of the management system of the tourism industry. In such a business environment of high consumer expectations, distinct market segments that demand unique services and products, and stiff competition, the tourism organizations have been looking for ways to expand the service quality, competition and performance, and first of all to satisfy customers.

The aim of the research is to define the strategic directions of the improvement of the management system of tourism in Ukraine and producing a strategy for the development of tourism in the regions of Ukraine as a typical document, which takes into account the cultural traditions of the local communities, spiritual and historical development.

Sustainable economic growth can only be achieved by increasing productivity and introducing better services and products of the country’s tourism. The modern state and prospects of tourism development in Ukraine have been analyzed. Advertising of tourist capacity is a primary tool for the formation of tourist attractiveness of the territory. That is why it is difficult to overestimate the importance of marketing campaigns and promotional activities as the main priority of efficient management. This is confirmed by the expenditures of state budgets on promotion, which total about 500 billion dollars annually.

Considering international trends, the program for the development of tourism on the example of the Rivne region for the 2020-2025 period has been developed by the authors. By systematizing the Rivne region realities, trends, and prospective challenges, it is possible to outline a set of public governance measures of the tourism industry for 2020–2025. To efficiently regulate the tourist environment, the international experience focuses on close stakeholder communication and support.
