Abstract
The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the study and rational use of the historical and cultural heritage of the Arctic territories of Western Siberia. The problem of preserving and effectively using the unique historical and cultural heritage sites in the territory, which is traditionally perceived as a raw materials base, is of great importance. Currently, recreational nature management and the development of domestic tourism are becoming powerful factors in the socio-economic development of the regions. As a result of the authors’ field historical and geographical research in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the study of cultural heritage sites and exhibitions in regional Arctic museums, a rich historical and cultural tourism potential has been identified in the northern regions of Western Siberia. It has been shown that the current development of multi-purpose tourism and recreational nature management should contribute to the sustainable development of the northern regions under consideration.
