The article examines the regional features of the development of tourist infrastructure in the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District and their impact on the dynamics of the tourist flow. Based on the analysis of data on federal financing, tourist travel statistics and expert assessments consider the key factors determining differences in the tourist attractiveness of the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. Special attention is paid to institutional support mechanisms: concessional lending for the construction of hotels, classification of accommodation facilities, zero VAT for hotels and concession agreements for the creation of ski infrastructure. Based on empirical data, two tables are presented that characterize the differentiation of the tourist flow and measures of state support for infrastructural development. The conclusion is made about the formation of a new model of the tourism economy in the North Caucasus Federal District, where public investment acts as a catalyst for private investment, and institutional reforms ensure the "whitewashing" of the market and improving the quality of services.
