Abstract
Introduction. The paper addresses tourism development management in the Arctic zone of Russia at the federal and regional levels. The Arctic territories are a significant resource for the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, and the severity of natural and climatic conditions for human life and activities in the regions requires special attention to the achievement of a high quality of life for the local population. One of the tools for maintaining and restoring people’s physical and emotional strength is tourism as it offers them good leisure and recreation opportunities in the place of their residence.
The purpose of the study is to identify general trends and specific features of tourism development management in the Arctic.
Research results. In general, the system of tourism development management in the Arctic territories is integrated into Russia’s overall system of strategizing. Analysis of regional strategic documents on tourism development shows that tourist and recreational territory development is considered to be a promising and sometimes priority direction for the socio-economic development in the nine Arctic regions of Russia. Of particular note is the existing variety of formats of the region-level doctrinal documents on tourism development, which impacts their structure and content. Among the factors limiting the demand for tourism products in the Arctic territories are weak development of the transport and logistics infrastructure, low quality, lack of tourism infrastructure facilities and insufficient level of personnel training, as well as tourists’ low awareness of traveling around the Arctic and poor recognition of Russian tourist brands of the Arctic destinations. Moreover, almost total absence of prospects and opportunities for the development of interregional cooperation in tourism among the Arctic regions has been revealed since the regions are positioned and promoted in isolation from the neighboring Arctic territories.
Conclusion. Summarizing the main goals of the regional strategic documents on tourism development, a single general direction for intervention efforts can be defined, namely, to create conditions for promoting the growth and enhancing the competitiveness of the tourism sector in the Russian and international markets of tourism services, while ensuring detailed elaboration of tasks to be implemented.
