Abstract

The paper deals with recreational resources and potential of the Khulamo-Bezengi Valley in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic. The main attention is paid to recreational resources and development of the area. We distinguished the most promising types of recreation such as traditional-mountaineering, mountain tourism and, in the future, ski sports. We also consider the opportunity for extreme sports (paragliding, etc.) as well as ecological and educational tourism. Evaluated existing hazardous natural processes in the local area as impediments to the development of recreational facilities and actions aimed at minimizing the damages resulted from these processes. A particular emphasis has been put on maximum permissible recreational loading that provides the balanced sustainable development of the local area. Meanwhile, the region has only one recreational site - a mountaineering camp "Bezengi". By Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of 14 October 2010, No 833 "On the creation of a tourism cluster in the North Caucasus Federal District, the Krasnodar Region and Adygea" [1], an exploitation problem of the most attractive mountainous regions of the North Caucasus is of high relevance.
