Main problem: In modern science, there are a large number of techniques focused on the assessment of competitiveness through the analysis of certain resources in the region. However, accounting of human resources in such assessments is not used as a prior factor in identifying regional competitive advantages. Competitive advantages affect not only the efficiency of individual sectors of the economy but also the overall social and economic development of the country. Evaluation of the competitiveness of the region should include one of the main parameters of the human resource and economic development level. Therefore, the forecast for the competitiveness of the region should take into account the pace of human resources development. Purpose of the research is evaluation of regions’ competitiveness as the main parameter of economic development in current conditions. Methods: The methods used in Kazakhstan for assessing the competitiveness of a region considers only the assessment of human resources in its structure but do not take into account the level of their development over time, as well as the multi-factorial nature of their components. Results and their value: The work explains and analyzes rating model for assessing of the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan (the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Republic of Kazakhstan). The authors proposed a methodology for ranking the regions of Kazakhstan based on an assessment of the development of their human resources that affect the competitiveness of the region. It includes an analysis of demographic, labor and social and economic indicators reflecting the state of human resources.

Main problem: for the 2019-2021 years of the implementation of the state program, the indicator for the number of incoming visitors in the tourism sector of the region was achieved in 2019. In 2020-2021, the indicator was not reached due to the global pandemic associated with the spread of coronavirus infection by Covid-19, and therefore the attractiveness and profitability of tourism in Kazakhstan decreased.

The purpose: to study the theoretical and practical aspects of the development of the tourism industry in the Pavlodar region. Methods: in the course of the research, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis of literature, methods of ranking, analysis, grouping and systematization of data, statistical methods. Results and their value: currently, the tourism industry of both Kazakhstan and its regions is gradually beginning to develop. The article presents the result of assessing the attractiveness of the tourism market and shows ways to expand the industry, as well as reveals the specifics of management in the tourism sector. The formulated conclusions and practical recommendations can contribute to the development of measures to improve the process of effective management and reform of the tourism industry of Pavlodar region, as well as the development of a mechanism for using tourism potential in the socio-economic development of Kazakhstan.
