“…Contemporary researchers are asking similar questions and their work suggests that the ecotourism model should be sensitive to the cultural context (Cater, 2006;Jamal et al, 2006;Nyiri, 2006). Braden and Prudnikova (2008) and de la Barre (2005) suggest that a context-specifi c and culturally sensitive ethic needs to be developed to best address the 'diametrical differences' that are present between western approaches and 'other' approaches to ecotourism. In the case of China, such an ethic should be sensitive to Chinese values (particularly those related to nature and wilderness), local stakeholders, Chinese tourism policies and expectations, and the local political climate on matters related to conservation and development.…”

In recent years, there has been increasing attention afforded ecotourism development in China. However, a national ecotourism framework has yet to emerge. This has forced planners, managers, policy-makers and researchers to look abroad for guidance. And, this raises sensitivity concerns related to Chinese cultural values, perspectives, and expectations regarding nature-based tourism experiences. This study analyzes contemporary Chinese ecotourism defi nitions with the objective to identify a set of common defi nitional themes. These themes are them compared to a set of ecotourism tenets established through antecedent analysis of defi nitions from abroad. A discussion of universal tenets, cultural values, diametrical differences, and the achievement of sustainable ecotourism ensues.

“…Often, the violators are the very people charged with preventing the crime, and this outcome seems to be motivated by economic pressure. Issues have been raised about the pay rate for inspectors, the very large areas they are responsible for, and the diminished funding for nature reserve support by the Rus sian Government (Braden 2008;Braden and Prudnikova 2008;Safonova 2007 South and Wyatt (2011) noted personal communication in 2007 from representatives at Phoenix, a Russian non-governmental organization (NGO), stating, "another category of poachers is those people who are not rich but that they have some protected position or know someone. For example, a chief of police or a prosecutor knows that there will not be any sanctions against them because of their position in society" (547).…”

“…Damage was classified by Russian law according to "major damages," such as destroying wildlife listed in the Red Book of Endangered Species (Braden and Prudnikova 2008;Kasparek 2011;MNR 2012a) versus damage to less ecologically significant game animals. Amend ments followed and even further calls went out to tighten the laws as the rise in poaching continued.…”

Poaching in Russia has been reported to be of catastrophic proportions and threatens maintenance of biodiversity. Management of game species has stabilized some num bers, but both endangered species listed in the Russian Red Book and animals tradi tionally viewed as hunting prey are diminishing in some regions. Rank-and-file hunters, increasingly shut off from access to hunting grounds, have expressed a nega tive reaction to new hunting regulations adopted by the Russian government in 2012. While high-profile poaching incidents by so-called "VIP hunters" do not apparently make up a large portion of cases, the symbolism of the alleged crimes has a deroga tory impact on ordinary hunters because lawlessness is reinforced by perceptions of impunity for elite poachers.

“…Russia has remained under considered and un der estimated in the tourism literature for the past 15 years despite its size, the relevance of its economy and its chances for development [24]. The most com prehensive discussion on how tourism can change Russian remote regions economy can be found in [25], who analyzed the challenges associated with ecotourism, and in [20], who proposed case studies.…”

“…Most Russian remote regions are resource depen dent to some extent. Besides, tourism development was considered as a way to react to the sudden econo mic decline in 1990s and as a tool to diversify econo my and become independent from gas, oil and timber in most peripheral regions [25][26][27]. That is why the national government has officially acknowledged tourism as a strategic sector of the Russian economy.…”

Статья подготовлена в рамках современной междисциплинарной теории «колеи» предыдущего развития (path dependence), которая исходит из того, что текущее развитие экономики любой территории определяется ее историей, сформированными социально-экономическими институтами и структурами. Регионы развиваются в рамках «колеи» и могут попадать в «институциональные ловушки», которые удерживают экономику в рамках одной колеи. Одной из наиболее распространенных экономик, попадающих в ловушки эффекта «колеи», являются регионы, зависимые от природных ресурсов. Экономика многих «нестоличных» удаленных регионов основывается на добыче природных ресурсов – угледобыча, нефтегазовая отрасль, сельское хозяйство, лесозаготовка. Эти продукты являются сырьем, т. е. природными ресурсами, получающими минимальную обработку (добавленную стоимость) перед экспортом, а экономики данных регионов – сырьевыми. В данной статье дается ответ на вопрос – могут ли природные ресурсы стать основой экономики нового типа, может ли сырьевой регион преодолеть институциональные ловушки и перейти от экономики добычи к креативной экономике. В мировой литературе недостаточно исследований, посвященных тому, как накопленные экономические и социальные ресурсы «старой» ресурсной колеи могут быть использованы для создания новой, креативной. Представлен успешный опыт Кемеровской области о том, как новая отрасль экономики – туризм, по-новому использует не только природные ресурсы региона, но и накопленные компетенции и ресурсы добывающей отрасли. Статья показывает, что активное взаимодействие органов власти, бизнеса и университетов может вывести из «колеи» даже ресурсозависимые регионы и сформировать туристскую дестинацию.
