Abstract
Hostels are a new player in the tourism and hospitality industry and require a comprehensive assessment of legal regulation, of accounting and reporting methods, of methods and ways of registering the phenomena, of issues of collecting and distributing data on it, of approaches and techniques of government regulation considering public opinion. The purposes of this work are to examine the features of the statistical study of hostels and to identify their key aspects. Based on the results of the analysis, it is determined that the Russian society has an ambiguous opinion about hostels as places of mass accommodation. This contradictory attitude was partly formed due to their opening in apartment buildings. On the other hand, the presence of hostels can become a driver for the development of the tourism and hospitality industry in regions, and a tool for attracting tourists. It has been established that for an objective assessment and analysis of the development of hostels in the Russian Federation, a more detailed study of the interpretations of this segment as well as their quantitative and qualitative characteristics are necessary. Despite the active growth of the segment in the country, there remains a place of inconsistency of the phenomenon. At the moment, there are no unified accounting and reporting forms that would allow for a statistical assessment of the development of hostels. The authors have developed and substantiated a system of indicators characterising hostels as an object of statistical study. It reveals and links aspects that allow us to acquire a comprehensive understanding of hostels as of special elements of the hotel business and to conduct a deeper analysis in the future
