 Strategic management of a tourism cluster in conditions of limited coordination among participantsF. M. Safin (), R. S. Garifullina and N. V. Borisova () Entrepreneur’s Guide, 2026, vol. 19, issue 3 Abstract: The article discusses the problem of strategic management of a tourism cluster in a situation where the cluster members are legally independent entities with divergent economic and institutional goals, and the classical tools of hierarchical control or contractual coordination are limitedly applicable. As a research base, we have chosen the Republic of Tatarstan, where the development of tourism allows us to consider the region as one of the most mature Russian cluster sites. We have identified typical manifestations of limited coordination (structural, institutional, informational, and target–oriented) and proposed a set of management tools relevant to this situation. It is shown that in conditions of limited coordination, the strategic management function shifts from direct allocation of resources and tasks to the formation of a coordination environment: nuclear points, common reputation assets, selective support, and incomplete contracts. An analysis of the empirical base for tourism development in the republic allows us to conclude that government agencies, development institutions, and independent operators are working together in a coordinated manner in the absence of a direct management hierarchy.
