https://doi.org/10.56654/ROPI-2022-4(4)-142-161
Abstract
The historical aspects of the formation of the modern geocultural space of the Russian North are discussed. This space is saturated with objects of the cultural heritage of ancient Russia - traces of ancient settlements, sacred pagan temples and groves. Numerous ancient Christian shrines are represented here: wooden chapels and churches, monastic complexes that make up the cultural landscape of the Russian North. Particular attention is paid to the water and portage routes of the penetration of the Slavs into the northern territories, as objects of cultural heritage, as well as unique ancient religious sites located on these routes. The problems of rational use of the richest natural and cultural heritage of the European North of Russia for tourism purposes are considered. The need for active development of transport and hotel infrastructure in the region is noted. It is shown that on the territory of the Russian North there are favorable prospects for the development of domestic and inbound tourism as factors for the sustainable development of the region.
