An empirical analysis based on data from the Russian Federation Accounts Chamber, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia (FAS Russia), and the All-Russian People’s Front identified persistent institutional barriers: duplication of functions, regulatory fragmentation, and poor interagency coordination. These issues result in project approval timelines extending to 120-135 days and high transaction costs for businesses. The study aims to develop and verify a model of a digital platform designed to optimize interagency interaction and administrative processes within the existing regulatory framework. The methodology includes the calculation of a composite digitalization index (CDI) based on an adapted methodology from the OECD and the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, correlation analysis of data from the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and the Russian Ministry of Finance (2021-2025), content analysis of 75 regulatory acts, and expert interviews with government officials (n = 15). The results demonstrate a strong positive correlation between the level of digitalization and the growth of tourist inflow (r = 0.72; p &lt; 0.01), as well as the efficiency of budget fund utilization (up to 92% in regions with a high CDI compared to 65% in regions with a low CDI). It is established that increased funding for support programs does not compensate for institutional constraints; the key efficiency factors are data harmonization, end-to-end procedures, and system interoperability. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of the synchronous implementation of three components: legislative unification, the creation of a digital ecosystem, and training for civil servants, which is supported by successful EU practices. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the quantitative substantiation of a causal relationship between digitalization and the overcoming of institutional, rather than technological, barriers, as well as in the development of a platform architecture that integrates disparate data and procedures. The practical significance is reflected in specific measures to reduce the administrative burden and increase the transparency of state regulation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Цифровая трансформация государственного управления выступает ключевым инструментом преодоления системных дисфункций в регулировании сложных межотраслевых сфер, к числу которых относится сельский туризм. Эмпирический анализ, проведенный на основе данных Счетной палаты РФ, ФАС России и Общероссийского народного фронта, выявил устойчивые институциональные барьеры: дублирование функций, нормативную фрагментацию и низкую координацию между ведомствами, что приводит к увеличению сроков согласования проектов до 120-135 дней и высоким транзакционным издержкам для бизнеса. Цель исследования - разработка и верификация модели цифровой платформы, оптимизирующей межведомственное взаимодействие и административные процессы в условиях действующего нормативного поля. Методология включает расчет интегрального показателя цифровизации (ИПЦ) по адаптированной методике OECD и Минцифры России, корреляционный анализ данных Минсельхоза РФ и Минфина России (2021-2025 гг.), контент-анализ 75 нормативных актов и экспертные интервью с представителями органов власти (n = 15). Результаты демонстрируют сильную положительную корреляцию между уровнем цифровизации и ростом туристического потока (r = 0,72; p &lt; 0,01), а также эффективностью освоения бюджетных средств (до 92% в регионах с высоким ИПЦ против 65% в регионах с низким). Установлено, что увеличение финансирования программ поддержки не компенсирует институциональные ограничения: ключевыми факторами эффективности являются гармонизация данных, сквозные процедуры и интероперабельность систем. Подчеркнута необходимость синхронной реализации трех компонентов - унификации законодательства, создания цифровой экосистемы и обучения госслужащих, что подтверждается успешными практиками ЕС. Научная новизна работы заключается в количественном обосновании причинно-следственной связи между цифровизацией и преодолением институциональных, а не технологических барьеров, а также в разработке архитектуры платформы, интегрирующей разрозненные данные и процедуры. Практическая значимость заключается в конкретных мерах по снижению административной нагрузки и повышению прозрачности государственного регулирования.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>interagency collaboration</kwd><kwd>digital transformation</kwd><kwd>administrative barriers</kwd><kwd>electronic document management</kwd><kwd>regional development</kwd><kwd>legislative regulation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>инновации</kwd><kwd>информационные технологии</kwd><kwd>аграрная экономика</kwd><kwd>региональное развитие</kwd><kwd>туристская инфраструктура</kwd><kwd>модернизация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Gil-Garcia JR, Dawes SS, Pardo TA.
