Abstract
The article considers the issues of improving the system of state regulation of the recreational business as one of the significant areas of socio-economic development of the state. The relevance of the study is due to the growing role of the recreational sector in the structure of the national economy, the need to form effective mechanisms of state management, ensure a competitive environment and sustainable development of entrepreneurial activity. The purpose of the study is to substantiate strategic management approaches in the system of state regulation of the recreational business based on the study of the experience of Eastern European countries. The methodological basis of the study is a systematic and comprehensive approach, methods of comparative analysis, generalization of scientific approaches and assessment of instruments of state influence on the development of the recreational sector. The study analyzes legislative and economic mechanisms of regulation aimed at limiting monopolistic manifestations, supporting competition and increasing the efficiency of the functioning of recreational business entities. The scientific significance of the study lies in identifying the features of the formation of models of state regulation of the recreational sector in Eastern European countries and determining the directions of their adaptation to ensure sustainable socio-economic development. The practical significance of the study is reflected in the possibility of using the proposed management approaches when developing recreational business strategies in countries with developing economies.
