All these changes are typical of the Kaliningrad region as one of its most profitable tourism directions, an inbound international one, started developing only in the middle of the 1990-s. This research is aimed at studying shifts in the region's tourism industry in the frameworks of its major sectors: accommodation sector, intermediary services' sector (tourist companies) and HoReCa sector. The research results reflecting the dynamics of these tourism components are presented in tables and diagrams. The region has not reached the Soviet-period level of health resort tourism yet; peak of foreign tourists number was in the end of 1990-s-beginning of 2000-s. The biggest number of Russian tourists was observed in 2014. Analyses of impacting factors is provided along with elaborated recommendations.

The purpose of scientific research, the results of which are presented in the article, was the justification of the prospects for cross-border cooperation between Russia and Poland in the field of tourism based on the analysis of the dynamics of the border movements and exchanges between inhabitants of the Kaliningrad region and Poland, the assessment of their structure by the purpose of visit and by the distance from the border to the target center visit. To obtain the author's conclusions, methods of expert estimations and statistical analysis, economic-statistical and factor analysis, economic and mathematical modeling were used. As a result of the research dynamics and nature of cross-border movements in the aforementioned regions were revealed, the author's assessment of the positive and negative effects of such movements and exchanges as a form of cross-border cooperation in the economic development of these regions, including tourism, was given.

It is composed of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, as well as the territories of Russia, Germany and Poland located on the Baltic coast. Subjects of the Russian Federation located in the Baltic region account for 16% of the territory, 20% of the population, and 15.5% of gross domestic product (GDP). An even bigger role is of Russia at the national level among the countries of the Baltic region. It accounts for 91% of the territory, 50% of the population, 38% of GDP and 14% of foreign trade turnover of nine countries combined. New spatial forms of cooperation are being formed with Russian participation – Euro regions, cross-border clusters. International cooperation increases the global competitiveness of each of the participating countries. The development gap has decreased between more and less wealthy countries. However, in the past few years, the relationship between the EU and Russia has deteriorated. In 2014-2015 Russia's trade with the countries of the region decreased more than with other EU countries and the world. The mutual and social ties decreased. This is not conducive to socioeconomic development of both Russia and the EU, and it is in the interest of both parties to abandon the growing confrontation.
