PRESENTING MAIN MATERIAL. The integration approach and clustering acquire key features as elements of management of the tourism industry in the conditions of sustainable development, where the integration of various sectors, such as the hotel business, transport, cultural events and others, create a comprehensive and balanced tourism product. Clustering allows combining similar regions or services for joint development. Application of these approaches will improve competitiveness and ensure effective use of tourism potential. An integrative approach to the management and development of the tourism industry can be a powerful tool for creating a holistic and effective environment. This means the joint action of various stakeholders, such as government bodies, local communities, businesses, and even non-profit organizations. Clustering of tourism development contributes to the effective use of resources, increasing competitiveness and creating a sustainable tourist destination. An integrative approach to the management and development of the tourism industry consists in close cooperation of various stakeholders and sectors, as well as in taking into account the interrelationships between various aspects of tourism. Key elements of the integration approach in the tourism industry include: industry integration; local integration; technological integration; cultural integration; sustainability and responsible tourism. The peculiarity of tourist clusters is that they contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the region for tourists, increase the quality and variety of tourist services, and contribute to the growth of the economy and the creation of new jobs. In Ukraine, the concept of an integrative approach to the management and development of the tourism industry is key to creating a sustainable and competitive tourism system.
