Annotation: The article discusses the issues of VR technology in tourism. The introduction of VR technology in the tourism industry should be primarily considered as an opportunity to visit hard-to-reach tourist routes. The purpose of the study is to analyze the process of using VR technologies in the tourist activity of the Lipetsk region. The object of the study is the tourism industry that currently exists in the Lipetsk region, and modern developments concerning virtual reality technologies. The authors analyzed the needs for VR technologies in tourism in the Lipetsk region. The research was based on the study and generalization of foreign and Russian experience in the field of VR technology in tourism. Many territories that have not yet become popular are experiencing difficulties in attracting customers at the initial stage of development. The Lipetsk region is a historically valuable territory, and even now many interesting events are being implemented in the region. The use of modern augmented reality technologies in the tourism industry will allow businesses to receive additional advertising both for the company and for the territory. The authors propose the introduction of augmented reality technologies in the tourism industry of the Lipetsk region as a pilot project.

Annotation: The purpose of the article is to identify the main directions of improving economic security in the field of payment systems functioning in the Russian Federation. The article reveals the main directions that contribute to international cooperation and highly effective provision of foreign economic activity in order to ensure economic security and the development of electronic technologies. Important areas of increasing economic security include the following: improving international trade security, ensuring electronic payment systems security from various threats, providing conditions for the implementation of foreign trade policy, production, industrial and economic priorities of the country, forming a system of foreign trade security in the digital economy. The author carries out a brief statistical data analysis characterizing the development of electronic payment systems and Russian foreign trade policy as well as its integration into the world economy. Innovative economic trends in the development of international relations have been identified, which have high demand and can provide an increase in trade turnover between countries, as well as inefficient areas of development of payment systems. In general, the issue of the national payment system development remains open, which affects trade policy and Russian exports. It should be noted that the increase in foreign trade turnover is not accompanied by a similar increase in capital injections and investments into the Russian economy, but is characterized mainly by capital flight. The author also considers various problems related to the impact of the pandemic on the development of electronic payment systems and economic security in the new conditions of international relations. The article concludes that the improvement of business and trade activity of our economy is possible only with the use of electronic payment systems that will help to reach new economic horizons.

The possibilities of positive changes in socio-economic relations in society as a result of the implementation of the strategy of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 are assessed. On the basis of the TESP-analysis model, an assessment of the probable scenarios of the technological, economic, social and political development of the Russian Federation is given. Using a combination of R. Vensil – P. Lagrange’s models and the McKinsey matrix model, an assessment of strategic plans for the country’s socio-economic development and the expected results of their implementation is given, taking into account the development by the Government of the Russian Federation of a strategy for the socio-economic development of the country until 2030 pursuant to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030”.

Annotation: The relevance of the article is due to the ongoing processes of public administration digitalization. The translation of public services and the implementation of accessibility, extraterritoriality and proactivity principles is designed not only to optimize public spending, but, first of all, to qualitatively change the processes of interaction between the state and society. The aim of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of the introduced electronic services and digitalization of providing public services of the Pension Fund of Russia on the basis of empirical data. To achieve the goal of the study, we used the analysis of the fund’s annual reporting data, open data and data from official sources of information. The analysis of the data reflected the explosive growth of the investigated indicators of the fund’s performance. According to the author, further digitalization of public services provided by the fund will be aimed at implementing the principle of proactivity in providing the most popular and relevant services.
