Настоящее исследование направлено на разработку теоретико-методологической модели кластеризации региональных туристских продуктов на основе библиометрического анализа с последующим сопоставлением кластеров с эффективными инструментами маркетингового продвижения. В качестве метода использован систематический библиометрический анализ 245 рецензируемых публикаций за период 2010–2023 гг., отобранных из базы данных Web of Science Core Collection с применением протокола PRISMA. Анализ проведён с использованием RStudio (пакет Biblioshiny) и VOSviewer, что позволило построить карты соавторства, социтирования и соиспользования ключевых слов. Результаты анализа выявили четыре тематических кластера: (1) устойчивое развитие и инновации в туризме, (2) качество сервиса и удовлетворённость туристов, (3) культурный и событийный туризм, и (4) гастрономический туризм и территориальная идентичность. На их основе разработана модель Matrix Design, обеспечивающая соответствие между типами туристских продуктов и специфическими инструментами продвижения. В рамках эмпирической апробации представлено исследование Мангистауской области Казахстана, подтвердившее применимость модели: выявлены проблемы фрагментарного позиционирования региона, а также предложены решения по цифровой сегментации, кластерному управлению и стратегическому брендингу. Будущие исследования должны быть направлены на апробацию модели в других регионах, а также на интеграцию цифровых технологий и искусственного интеллекта для усиления маркетинговых стратегий.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Despite the growing importance of interdisciplinary approaches in tourism studies, there remains a lack of structured analytical frameworks for clustering regional tourism products and aligning them with effective marketing tools. The present study aims to develop a theoretical and methodological model for clustering regional tourism products based on bibliometric analysis, followed by comparing clusters with effective marketing promotion tools. The method used is a systematic bibliometric analysis of 245 peer-reviewed publications from 2010 to 2023, selected from the Web of Science Core Collection database using the PRISMA protocol. The analysis was carried out using RStudio (Biblioshiny package) and VOSviewer, which allowed us to build maps of co-authorship, co-quoting and co-use of keywords. The results of the analysis revealed four thematic clusters: (1) sustainable development and innovation in tourism, (2) quality of service and tourist satisfaction, (3) cultural and event tourism, and (4) gastronomic tourism and territorial identity. Based on them, the Matrix Design model has been developed to ensure consistency between the types of travel products and specific promotion tools. As part of the empirical testing, a study of the Mangystau region of Kazakhstan was presented, confirming the model’s applicability: problems of fragmented positioning of the region were identified, as well as solutions for digital segmentation, cluster management and strategic branding were proposed. Future research should explore cross-regional applications of the model and examine the integration of digital technologies, such as AI and data analytics, to further optimize marketing strategies for regional tourism development.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>регион</kwd><kwd>региональный туристический продукт</kwd><kwd>туризм</kwd><kwd>устойчивый туризм</kwd><kwd>систематический обзор</kwd><kwd>стратегия</kwd><kwd>маркетинговая стратегия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Region</kwd><kwd>Regional Tourism Product</kwd><kwd>Tourism</kwd><kwd>Sustainable Tourism</kwd><kwd>Systematic Review</kwd><kwd>Strategy</kwd><kwd>Marketing Strategy</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Abdulla, S.
