- Abstract
The origins of ecological tourism in Russia date back to the end of the 19th century, when amateur nature tours began to be organized. Small groups of tourists organized amateur tours. The development of ecotourism was greatly influenced by the appearance of national parks in Russia in the second half of the 20th century.Since 1995, ecological tourism has already begun to be developed at the state level. At the first stages of its development, the demand for eco-tours among the citizens of the country was small. The relevance of the research topic is related to the need of development of ecological tourism in Russia. The Murmansk region acts as a study area, as one of the most promising Russian regions for the development of ecotourism. Competent planning and design of this type of tourism will help preserve the natural, historical and cultural heritage of the country’s regions, create a positive image of Russian regions as favourable for domestic and external tourism, popularize domestic tourism among Russians, and create a comfortable tourist environment on the territory of the Russian Federation. The article presents the characteristics of specially protected natural areas (SPNA) of the Murmansk region, the analysis of ecotours with a visit of these objects. The authors paid special attention to the problems that hinder the development of ecological tourism in the region. Conclusions have been formulated based on the analysis.
