Abstract:
The author of the article has carried out statistical analysis and has made some forecasts concerning the main indicators of economic entities in ecotourism, taking the Dnipropetrovsk region as an example. The correlation coefficients suggested by Pearson, Spearman and Fechner have been calculated to determine the correlation between revenues received from the provision of tourist services and operating expenditures of tourism businesses (tour operators and travel agents) in the region. Strategic directions of the intensification of ecotourism activity development in the Dnipropetrovsk region have been determined, namely: creating appropriate institutional conditions and legal environment, meaning the design and adoption of the Law of Ukraine On Rural Green Tourism, a regional program of ecotourism development, changes and amendments to the Strategy development for the period up to 2027 and the Road Map for its implementation in 2021-2023; economic support of ecotourism development through public-private partnerships, which would attract private investment and crowdfunding, guarantee preferential lending to farmstead owners to modernize their lodgings, receive training or run promotional campaigns; the implementation of stimulating and encouraging mechanisms to ensure the work of ecotourism infrastructure facilities; creation of an effective quality assurance system for ecotourism services, which will be based on the consumers’ needs, guarantee fundamental standards, include environmental protection criteria.

Keywords: correlation analysis, ecotourism, ecotourism activities, forecasting methods, indicators, modernization of the economy, regional economy, statistical analysis, strategic directions.
