The newest global trends in development of tourism in many respects are defined by the concept of stability of his development. Now more and more obvious are questions connected with transition of the sphere of tourism to a way of sustainable development. Practice has shown that the fast and insufficiently controlled growth of the tourist sphere which puts as one of is more whole fast receiving economic benefits, in many respects leads to negative consequences as results in damage of the environment and destruction of the basis which controls functionality and success of development of tourism. Sustainability issues any socio-economic system, which applies fully and tourism, is extremely systematic and multicriterion nature as development strategies should be a whole space based on multiple levels-global, national, territorial, municipal, cluster, local and many others. To date, created quite a number of conceptual approaches to the calculation of the level of sustainable development. However, a number of critical issues methodological and statistical purposes, the complexity in identifying and calculating, resulted in a single universal integral indicator simply does not exist. It is very difficult to combine in one method of different socio-economic systems (countries, regions), because each of them has its own specific priorities and disparate problems. Today, many international system of indicators include not fully aggregated indicators for sustainable development on a number of issues, they often represent a multicomponent system that is quite complicated in practical application. However, positive moments of both approaches is the fact that the theory and practice of submitted studies on sustainable development of tourism defines a system of indicators and indicators for assessing sustainability based on dynamics, that allows you to reflect the long-term world economic trends.

At the basis of successful development of tourist business in many economically developed countries of the world (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) lies the systematic and interdisciplinary nature of tourism research. The article provides a brief overview of the existing approaches to studying the structural components of the tourism system in order to determine the positive and negative factors of its development. Tourism is seen as a system, each component of which can be identified and studied. You can analyze a single aspect (for example, tourism economics, sociology of tourism, tourism pedagogy, insurance, medicine in tourism, etc.), limited to tourism as a sphere of activity. It is necessary, in our opinion, to analyze the cause-effect relations of interaction between all aspects of the tourism industry. To systematize the factors of the positive and negative impact of tourism on the development of recreational areas, on the economy of the country, on the solution of the basic social task of tourism is the recreation of the population of the country. The aspect of the systematic and interdisciplinary nature of research should be taken into account in theoretical developments in the field of tourism. The main result of theoretical developments is the offer on the tourist services market of a quality tourist product that is safe and accessible to all categories of the population and does not damage the recreational area and significantly replenishes its budget. The formation of specialized tourist funds is proposed, the funds from which can be used to develop a quality system in domestic tourism. The creation of a theoretical base for the development of tourism in the most economically developed countries of the world seems to be topical, which can form the basis for successful business development in the tourism industry, the development of the domestic tourism policy, and strategic and tactical tourism development plans. However, currently negative factors of tourism development continue to act, which need to be analyzed, identified, accounted for, neutralized or minimized in time. In 2017, the bankruptcy of domestic tour operators continues. The need to establish a mechanism to protect domestic producers, in this case, producers of tourist services – Russian tour operators and domestic tourism products from the absorbing activity of global international tourist concerns, is underlined. The methodological approaches used in the article are based on general scientific methods: comparison, generalization, analysis, synthesis, system analysis, analogy method. The provisions of the article can be used in the theory and practice of tourist activities.

The paper analyses link between external reserves and oil prices using unrestricted VAR estimation from 1996 to 2016. The results reveal that movement in oil prices deteriorates reserves level and causes deep fluctuations in government expenditure in Nigeria. However, such effect on foreign reserves is rather delayed and more prominent on the long-run. At any rate the price of oil, Nigeria’s battle with propensity of foreign reserves may end up an exercise in vainness except the nation diversify from one foremost source of funding, oil. Based on findings, we recommend need for Nigeria to devise additional basis of revenue.
