As of today, the formation of economic clusters is a necessary condition for ensuring strong competitive positions of countries and individual territories in the field of industrial, innovative, technological and other types of development. At the same time, different types of economic clusters develop differently in different countries, and the priority in this process is usually given to industrial, innovative and, to a lesser extent, transport and logistics clusters. Conversely, service clusters, including tourist clusters, remain less common. The purpose of this article is to present the results of the author's analysis and generalization of the world experience in implementing cluster initiatives, to determine the prerequisites, goals and the most effective tools for achieving them that are characteristic of this process. A hypothesis is put forward regarding the incomplete correspondence of tourist clusters to the goals of industrial, innovative, technological and competitive development typical for cluster policy, and the greater orientation of this type of clusters to solving problems of economic development in the regional and territorial context. The methodological basis of the study was system analysis and synthesis, and methods of comparison and generalization were actively used. The theoretical propositions formulated as a result of the research can serve as a subject of scientific discussion and a starting point for further research works of a fundamental and applied nature. The results obtained may also be of practical interest to state and local government authorities when they regulate economic development processes in the sectoral and territorial context.

The organization of lean production can contribute to achieving surprisingly high results, the experience of the famous Toyota company is an example of this. The technologies and techniques involved in this concept are not particularly difficult to understand, just get familiar with specific terms such as" friction"," value " and others. Nevertheless, it is the introduction of lean production at the enterprise that is a particular problem in both Western countries and the Russian Federation. The difficulty lies in the fact that it is impossible to apply one or two tools included in lean production and get the maximum possible return. The use of the 5S system allows you to eliminate the loss of time (muda) for workers to find the right tools, which are always in the designated places. Well-established preventive maintenance simplifies their use and plays a major role in reducing the time of equipment setup, providing the possibility of using SMED rapid changeover systems.

The presented article contains the results of the analysis of opportunities for the development of ethnic entrepreneurship in the Krasnodar Territory, conducted on the basis of the analysis of data on population migration to the Krasnodar Territory. It is determined that, despite some slowdown in migration flows, the region as a whole remains attractive to domestic and external migrants. It was revealed that the multi-ethnic composition of the population and the difficult migration situation contribute to the development of ethnoeconomics in the region, and ethnic entrepreneurship can be considered as one of the promising "growth points" of the region's economy. Consequently, ethnic entrepreneurship acts as an adaptation strategy, that is, a set of practices of social interaction between ethnic migrants and the receiving community. New opportunities for the sector of ethnic entrepreneurship in modern conditions are outlined. Despite the clear advantages, ethnic entrepreneurship had a potential for conflict, since ethnic inequality, labour market competition, shadow employment, income and living standards created inter-ethnic tensions. However, if ethnobusiness is focused on the development of new or untapped economic niches, aimed at diversifying production, etc., then ethnic entrepreneurs are practically not rejected by the host community.
