The article examines some issues of sustainable development of Arctic tourism in the Russian Federation. The authors make an attempt to formulate the concept of “Arctic tourism”. They analyze existing regulatory framework for the development of Arctic tourism, consider categories and types of Arctic travel on current examples, and identify problems of sustainable Arctic tourism development. The conclusion is that development of mass tourism is not mandatory, as tourism in this region should be developed purely as an exclusive one, because it is necessary to regulate visits to protected natural areas, since otherwise there arise risks of losing the pristine nature of the Arctic.
The article examines the concept of such an activity as “sports tourism.” This category is considered both as a type of tourism and as a type of sport. The authors formulate their definition of the concept of “sports tourism” and consider the difference in approaches to the definition of sports tourism by Russian and foreign scientists, proposing to understand sports tourism as a temporary departure of a traveler from their home destination for the purpose of active or passive participation in activities, in one way or another related to sports. Problems in the development of sports tourism in the Russian Federation are formulated, to which the authors attribute its poor infrastructure, lack of state support, inaccessibility of some destinations and lack of dedicated specialists.
The analyzed indicators indicate that the industrial complex consumes the largest volume of water resources, while not all water resources that are discharged into water bodies are subject to treatment, which, of course, affects the state of water basins. It was substantiated in the work that in order to achieve and increase the effective use of water resources, it is advisable to develop a coordinated policy to reduce water consumption and preserve the environment for future generations. At the end of the study, the necessary conclusions were drawn on the results of the work done.
