FEATURES OF THE TOURIST INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC. PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The article analyzes the tourism infrastructure in the AZRF as a constraining factor for the formation of the competitiveness of domestic Arctic tourism on the world stage. It is concluded that, despite the attractiveness of natural resources, transportation costs do not allow middle-income tourists to visit the Arctic, and service is not sufficiently developed for elite tourists. The potential opportunities for the development of tourism infrastructure in the Russian Arctic in accordance with regional peculiarities are noted. The article is published based on the results of the research work carried out within the framework of the grant competition for the performance of research works by scientific and pedagogical workers of SPbGASU (St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering) in 2022.
