The transborder relations have been intensively studied recently. The target of research depends on the specialization of the scientists involved in studying different aspects of transboundary ties. Depending on the aims, researchers elaborate on the notion of a transboundary region itself. The objective of our study is the consideration of approaches of different fields of study to the issues of transborder tourism; a search of innovative forms of transborder cooperation and identification of tools having a stimulating impact on the development of transborder tourism regions as a form of sustainable socioeconomic development of transborder and border areas. Comparative analysis, recreational and marketing approaches applied in tourism and recreational projecting of a space, and a cluster approach. The study resulted in the identification of the main areas of transborder and border cooperation; sets of issues were determined connected with studying transborder regions; properties ch...

This paper examines the tourism issues related to international borders. The discussion is framed around an example of countries with strained border relations specifically Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro. The challenges associated with border trade in tourism and the barriers associated with collaboration between destinations are explored. Through a quantitative instrument administered to public and private tourism organizations specific micro challenges are identify for a border region in the SouthernAdriatic.

The paper discusses the notion of a transborder recreational tourism complex (TBRTC) as a geographic and as a wider multidisciplinary concept and describes such complexes within transborder tourism regions in Western Ukraine. A TBRTC is introduced as a spatial formation that arises within tourism-specific transborder collaboration. A TBRTC combines three necessary components: the entirety of all tourism-attracting resources in a specific transborder region; the travel-enabling infrastructure, including transborder-specific features like border-crossing checkpoints; and informational and coordination resources such as tour operating services and defined tourist routes. The paper explains basic terminology and key principles for formation and existence of TBRTCs. The authors start by explaining the unique characteristics of transborder tourism in Europe and in tourism-oriented formations called Euro-zones. A principal model of TBRTC is proposed, including the list of factors necessary...
