general characteristics
The Volga Federal District ranks third in the Russian Federation in terms of domestic tourism: 2.5 million people visit the district subjects annually, which is 10% of the total volume of this type of tourism in Russia. Based on the existing historical, cultural and national characteristics, as well as the presence a large number recreational areas, the Volga regions seek to attract investors to the tourism sector.
Main problems
The development of domestic tourism in the Volga Federal District is hampered by the main factors: depreciation tourism infrastructure, lack of modern hotels with a large number of rooms and lack of investment.
The presence of modern tourist and recreational facilities to meet the growing needs of the population of the district and its guests is currently clearly insufficient.
The state of development of tourism and recreation in the Volga Federal District is determined by key factors:
lack of roads, tourist transport;
unsatisfied demand of the residents of the district and those who come to the district for affordable and high-quality recreational services;
unused opportunities of the natural potential of the district.
Main goals, objectives and directions of development
The implementation of major investment projects in the tourism and recreational sector in the regions of the district should solve a significant part of the existing problems and will be aimed primarily at creating a tourist ring of all-Russian and international significance " Big Volga". All regions through which the Volga and Kama rivers flow will become participants in this project.
On the territory of the Volga Federal District, the most significant links of the tourist ring will be the largest cities located on the Volga and Kama (the cities of Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Samara, Ulyanovsk, Saratov, Izhevsk, etc.), as well as a number of territories where it is possible to combine outdoor recreation (including active) and cultural, historical, as well as thematic tourism (Sokolsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Sviyazhsk in Tatarstan, Zhigulevsk city district Samara region, Ulyanovsk and Sengileevsky districts of the Ulyanovsk region, the cities of Saransk and Temnikov in the Republic of Mordovia, the landing site of the first cosmonaut Yu.A. Gagarin in the Engels district of the Saratov region, Sovietsky and Kotelnichsky districts of the Kirov region, Sol-Iletsk and Akbulaksky districts in the Orenburg region, Yurinsky and Kilemarsky districts of the Republic of Mari El, etc.).
A special place in the system of measures for the development of tourism should be occupied by the organization of sanatorium-resort and cultural-educational trips for socially unprotected groups of the population (pensioners, veterans, disabled people, large families, schoolchildren and students), which will help ease the social pressure of crisis factors, serve the cause interpenetration of cultures and the development of tolerance in society, to prevent manifestations of interethnic and interfaith tension.
Support should be provided for the formation of tourist and recreational clusters that use not only natural and cultural and historical resources, but also specialized infrastructure, professional personnel, educational and research and production centers, entertainment and animation, sports complexes, medical institutions, public catering, roadside service, etc.
It is necessary to implement a set of measures to:
creating the image of the territory as a prosperous and attractive place of life and recreation;
creation and provision of activities of natural parks and facilities;
improvement of the system of training, retraining and advanced training of personnel in the field of tourism and scientific support of tourism activities.
The infrastructure of cruise tourism will be developed. Places will be arranged beach holiday and eco-tourism routes (including those using a small fleet) with the organization of transit complex green stops for cruise ships.
A certain effect from the development of the Volga tourist ring will be associated with the possibility of combining outdoor activities and satisfying cultural and historical interests, with the revival of traditional crafts and the solution of a number of social problems, including the task of attracting labor resources to rural areas and the task of increasing the transport connectivity of the village and urban areas .
The second direction is the development of tourism and recreation based on natural potential Ural mountains with the concentration of the relevant infrastructure in the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Udmurt Republic and the Perm Territory, where complexes of winter (primarily skiing) and summer outdoor activities (extreme rafting on mountain rivers, horseback riding and tourism, grayling and trout fishing, speleotourism and etc.).
Based on the rich recreational resources of the forest zone of the Volga Federal District, in cooperation with the nearest regions of the North-Western Federal District, hunting tourism and other types of outdoor activities will be further developed.
In the Perm Territory, the Udmurt Republic, the Kirov Region and the Ulyanovsk Region, several resort-tourist and health-improving complexes will also be built with ski slopes and all the necessary infrastructure for recreation, including increased comfort, the infrastructure for rehabilitation and preventive treatment will also be developed.
Further improvement of such infrastructure will make it possible to create a health-improving cluster based on high-tech medicine (Izhevsk, Udmurt Republic), a tourist and recreational cluster in the Kirov region based on significant reserves mineral waters and therapeutic mud.
As part of the development of tourism in the Western Urals, an infrastructure for preventive and rehabilitation treatment will be created based on mineral waters, local therapeutic mud, mountain and forest coniferous air, and a center of oriental medicine will be created.
The development of such infrastructure in parallel with the strengthening of the health care system in the largest cities in the east of the district will create a health cluster that includes an intensive care unit based on high-tech medicine.
The development of tourism in the east of the Volga Federal District will be carried out in cooperation with the nearest regions of the Urals Federal District - the Chelyabinsk Region and the Sverdlovsk Region. Of particular importance is the development of transport infrastructure linking the Perm Territory and the Sverdlovsk Region in order to organize a variety of tourist routes simultaneously on the western and eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains.
The most important strategic direction in the development of the tourist and recreational complex of the Volga Federal District is recreation within the largest agglomerations of the district.
As part of the development of tourism in the middle Volga region, a special economic zone of a tourist and recreational type will be created on the territory of the Samara region.
Another factor in the attractiveness of individual regions of the Volga Federal District for tourists is cultural traditions. National holidays, the preservation of handicrafts, the opportunity to get acquainted with the culture and life of several ethnic groups at once determine the prospects for the development of ethnographic, culinary and other types of educational tourism(Republic of Tatarstan, Republic of Bashkortostan, Republic of Mari El, Republic of Mordovia, Udmurt Republic, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Orenburg Region, Ulyanovsk Region, Kirov region and etc.).
Expected results
The development of tourism and recreation will satisfy the needs of the population in these services and improve the ecological state of the territory, in particular, it will ensure the restoration of the ecological state of water and large natural objects (such as Samarskaya Luka), and reduce the pollution of water bodies.

Currently, tourism is one of the dynamically developing sectors of the world economy, where ethnic tourism plays an important role. It awakens interest in culture, traditions, promotes the revival and preservation of cultural heritage. Today, national policy and the development of national languages, both in Russia and in the world, is one of the top priorities, due to which, perhaps, an increasing number of tourists are beginning to be actively interested in the complex multinational culture of Russia.
Acquaintance with the culture and traditions of various ethnic groups is the most important part of ethnic tourism. Traditions are a system of values, norms of behavior, positions and principles of relations between people. The characterization of folk traditions includes an analysis of existing traditions, determining their place in the life of the country and linking them to specific territories and ethnic groups.
One of the most developed industrial and agricultural regions of Russia, which has significant potential for the development of ethnic tourism, is the Volga Federal District. According to the All-Russian Population Census of 2010, the Volga Federal District is home to a multinational population - 21.3% of the total number of citizens of the country, 140 representatives of various nations, nationalities, ethnic groups. This speaks of the great cultural potential of the district. This is the reason for the relevance of this article.
Analyzing state of the art ethnic tourism and the level of development of ethno-oriented tourism in Russian regions, Tikhonova T.Yu. conditionally groups them as follows:
$11. regions that actively develop ethno-tourism and have the necessary ethno-cultural potential for this and a sufficiently developed tourist infrastructure (Yamal-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, partly Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories);
$12. regions that are attractive and promising for the development of ethno-tourism, but have an underdeveloped tourist infrastructure ( Khabarovsk region, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Republic of Komi, the Volga region, the North of the European part of Russia, the Baikal region, the Republic of Altai, the republics North Caucasus, Kamchatka Territory, Sakhalin, Republics of Khakassia and Mari El, Chuvash Republic).
The subjects that are part of the Volga Federal District belong to the latter type of regions. The national composition of the Volga Federal District and the cultural heritage of the peoples living on its territory is very rich, has similar features, but at the same time differs in characteristic features. Let us consider the possibilities of the regions of the Volga Federal District for the development of ethnic tourism.
The Republic of Mordovia is one of the regions of the Volga Federal District that has the potential for the development of ethnic tourism. It is no coincidence that Russians, Mordovians, Tatars, Ukrainians, etc. live on its territory. Currently, the following centers operate in Mordovia national culture: from. Podlesnaya Tavla (Kochkurovsky district), with. Nizovka, p. Urusovo (Ardatovsky district), with. Staraya Terizmorga (Staroshaigovsky district), with. Rybkino (Kovylkinsky district), with. Kochetovka (Insarsky district) where you can get acquainted with the peculiarities of life, crafts, clothing, rituals of the Mordovian people.
About 20% of the crafts of all of Russia are concentrated on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region, including the world-famous golden Khokhloma, Semenov matryoshka, gold embroidery, Gorodets, Polkhov-Maidan painting, weaving, guipure, filigree, knife craft, woodworking and other crafts. In many districts of the region, from 50 to 200 craftsmen are employed in the field of folk arts and crafts, arts and crafts. A vivid confirmation of this is the amazing fabulous city-museum of Gorodets.
The Republic of Mari El is also ethnically interesting. The Mari are one of the few peoples of Europe who have preserved paganism and religious objects associated with it. In addition, the Republic of Mari El presents a unique experience of the coexistence of paganism, Christianity and Islam. Has great popularity ethnographical museum under open sky in the city of Kosmodemyansk.
Tolerant multicultural region - Orenburg region. Representatives of more than a hundred ethnic groups live on its territory. Important for the development of ethno-tourism in general is the level of urbanization of the region - 58%, since this type of tourism is realized mainly in rural areas. In the Orenburg region, it is possible to organize tours from Germany to German villages founded by the Germans, who have preserved elements of their culture and way of life.
Active work on the organization of museum complexes of ethnic orientation: the open-air museum "Bogatyrskaya Sloboda", the ethnographic museum "Gornitsa" and others ongoing in the Samara region. This region belongs to the most multinational regions of our country.
Due to historical and social factors, the Republic of Tatarstan has great potential for the development of ethnic tourism. A nostalgic direction - trips to their historical homeland, is very important for the region. Most ethnic Tatars live outside the republic. Tatarstan is the center of the Tatar world. The purpose of visits can be not only visits with relatives, but also visits to significant cultural world events - Sabantuy, holidays, anniversaries, concerts. Appeal to the national factor will allow to preserve the language, history, traditions of the Tatar people. Ethnic tourism is successfully developing in the Yelabuga region of the republic, holding the international ethnic festival "Krutushka" has become traditional.
A wide range of handicraft specialties is represented by ethnic tourism in the Ulyanovsk region. It can be argued that in this region the problems of the development of handicrafts, the revival of a number of folk crafts, which are directly related to the spirituality, culture of the people, and the attractiveness of the province with its original color, are actualized. Experts hope that a powerful impetus to the development of handicrafts in the Ulyanovsk region will be given by the Crafts Center, which is planned to be built near the village. New Bedenga in the Ulyanovsk region.
The list of priority areas for the development of tourism in the Republic of Chuvashia includes ethnic tourism. Of great interest to tourists and the greatest value on the Chuvash land is the Chuvash people with national traditions and rituals. In the village of Ibresi there is an open-air ethnographic museum; it is planned to create a tourist cluster "Ethnic Chuvashia".
Thus, having analyzed the potential for the development of ethnic tourism in the regions of the Volga Federal District, we came to the conclusion that most of them have sufficient opportunities for the development of this type of tourism on their territory, but not all available facilities are involved in the tourism industry. The development of ethnic tourism in the regions of the Volga Federal District should become a priority, since these regions are little studied, but have great potential. In many ways, the current state is determined by the saturation and material and technical condition of tourist infrastructure facilities, as well as the position and activity of the population and authorities. Further study of this type of tourism on the territory of the Volga Federal District will help preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the indigenous population, arouse interest from tourists and, in general, solve a number of economic and social problems associated with the efficient use of tourism resources.
