**5. Conclusion**

The formation and development of smart platforms can take place both in an evolutionary way in the conditions of market relations, and by a decision from above, that is, at the initiative of state bodies. At the same time, a smart platform, as a rule, unites all participants in business processes within a single sector of the economy (manufacturing, trading, service enterprises, their customers, public authorities, and other economic entities), creating and structuring information flows between all stakeholders in a digital format and market participants within the industry. The digital industry platform in order to improve management efficiency allows you to form a holistic objective picture of the state of the industry.

In technological terms, an industry smart platform based on blockchain is an information system for accumulating, exchanging, and managing data in a structured form, as well as for creating an ecosystem of services with information systems of smart platform participants connected to it. Thus, with the help of a smart platform, horizontal integration of information systems of market participants in a specific sector of the economy is ensured.

Obviously, for interested participants, the formation of a smart platform for the tourism industry has many positive consequences, as it opens up access to a wide range of opportunities and allows the implementation of a sustainable model for the development of the industry [25]. Therefore, the essence of the formation of a business model should be to organize work with all interested parties (external partners, contractors, government, and control bodies) without creating a rigid vertical hierarchical management system. On the other hand, the quality and efficiency of the control function are improving to assess the latent factors of growth or decline in the development of both individual business entities and the tourism industry as a whole.
