**2. Tourism and sustainable development**

It is extremely important for tourism to develop in the context of the sustainable development goals proclaimed by the UN in 2015 (Agenda 2030). This poses new challenges for the industry, the solution of which is possible with the use of the latest information technologies. The growth of sustainable tourism implies a long-term development, in which a balance is achieved between economic, social, environmental, and cultural goals, and the interests of all stakeholders are taken into account. In the period of transition to a digital and smart economy, the introduction of tourist technological platforms is a necessary condition for increasing the competitiveness of regional tourism products in Russia. Tourism within the framework of sustainable development acquires environmentally friendly tourism products, and reduces the financial costs of users. The constant and long-term development of tourism information platforms is expected through technology transfer and capacity building, both public and private [8]. The need to develop this area is emphasized by the study by [11], which notes that sustainable development in the field of tourism is relevant not only for the consumer but also for the service provider, the state, etc. The level of use of advanced manufacturing technologies; and the number of organizations performing research and development. The demand for sustainable tourism is constantly

growing, and studies are being conducted on the relationship between sustainable and urban tourism [12], where the authors focus on improving the technological environment in this area, introducing solutions to optimize existing ones, as well as creating new, relevant solutions in this area. Studies conducted in the field of tourism show a high correlation between tourism development and STP, this research has also confirmed the influence of absorption, adaptation, and innovation capabilities in the sustainable development of the tourism sector [13].

With the development of IT technologies and the globalization of our world, the attention of companies is increasingly focused on the "green image" (charity, support for those in need, social development, and culturalization). Producers tend to the location of the client, to reapply for the services provided. Research shows that there is a positive relationship between sustainability practices and return visit intent, and between a green image, both directly and indirectly through trust [14]. This shows the relevance of the development of the system, as well as the development of new solutions for the development of the tourism region.
