The objective of our study is the consideration of approaches of different fields of study to the issues of transborder tourism; a search of innovative forms of transborder cooperation and identification of tools having a stimulating impact on the development of transborder tourism regions as a form of sustainable socio-economic development of transborder and border areas.

The study resulted in the identification of the main areas of transborder and border cooperation; sets of issues were determined connected with studying transborder regions; properties characteristic of transborder regions were specified; major innovative tools were identified influencing the establishment of new transborder regions and clustering of the existing ones; and common regularities of tourism development in border regions were determined.
