Sustainable development of international tourism in Russia and China

Abstract

The two great countries of the world, Russia and China, have certain similarities and differences in their development. From a historical point of view, these countries are attractive to tourists because they possess not only significant territories, but also unique monuments created both by the nature and human civilizations. Cooperation is particularly noticeable in tourism activities. This is due to the fact that tourism as a phenomenon is booming around the world. Developed and developing countries have felt the impact of the post-industrial society, where tourism and the services sector generate high incomes. At the same time, tourism between Russia and China, considered as a package of services, has absorbed not only the economic component, but also the geopolitical ones, since the countries have an extensive common border.
