The content of the White Papers indicates that large targets arising from the concept of balanced development are set for the EU's transport policy. It demands a broader view and influence on expanding the range of related activities which create a logistic support system for socio-economic life. The scope of problems associated with this process exceeds the current range of transport policy. Therefore, terms "mobility" and "policy of mobility" are more often used in EU documents as equivalent to "transport" and "policy of transport", but better reflecting the character of the problems.

A large group of decision problems arising in logistic practice are those ones characterized by finding the best possible solutions, taking into account certain criteria and being under certain restrictions. Those problems are named in the literature as optimization ones. The article presents the possibility of using the Solver optimization tool for solving this type of decision problems on the example of two hypothetical situations related to the two optimization models: transportation model and transshipment model.

The tourism industry is one of the fastest growing areas of business activity in the world. Its effective development in Ukraine is constrained by a number of organizational and economic factors: insufficient development of the internal market of tourism products, their poor quality and inconsistency needs of consumers and the ineffective management systems at the level of tourist enterprises and national. Solving these problems is associated with the formation of the most effective tools of logistics management in accordance with the terms of Ukrainian tourism market development. This paper proposes a logistic model of interaction between the main actors of the tourism market, which involves the integration of tourism enterprises and tour operators in order to ensure the harmonious development of the region through the optimization of tourist flows and usage of tourism resources. Integrative role of tour operators in ensuring optimum development of the sector presupposes the implementation of management functions in the system of interrelations «supplier-tour operator» and «tour operator-consumer». The necessity of increasing the informational content of domestic tourism product as a tool for forming internal demand is grounded. This includes the development of innovative excursions for various tourism resources of the region: sports facilities; educational and financial infrastructure; health institutions and others.
The article highlights those aspects of logistics which determine that logistics should be treated as an area of practical knowledge, deeply settled in theoretical foundations of other disciplines and scientific theories. The article contains original author's concept of understanding the matter of logistics, in close connection with its aims and service, as well as integration functions. Logistics integrates interdisciplinary approach to economic processes — from praxeological aspects of good work and rules of economizing activities, to the implementation of information technologies in virtual economic organizations—favourable for better use of resources and cost reductions. It constitutes the main prerequisite of constructing contemporary economic strategies of total supply chains.
