The Russian Federation - Incoming and Outgoing Tourism
International Tourism Markets
Fall 2012/13

Russia
(Inbound & Outbound)

by SCHOBER, Julia HEGYI, Boglárka

Declaration
Having chosen Russian as second foreign language in our studies, we have decided to have a closer look into the country and its touristic potential. We have tried to find reliable sources, informative data and put it all together in a clear and understandable context. Not only have we discovered that Russia is home to magnificent natural and cultural heritage but have also learned that there is enormous touristic opportunities within the country. With massive changes in the not so distant past of the country, Russia is now trying to increasingly focus on development and infrastructure for international travellers and promote its assets as a destination out of the ordinary. However, there are still challenges which have to be overcome in order to turn the country into a destination of international standards. With this paper, we are trying to inform about the present situation and the aims towards the near future but have also included information about the country´s past in order to close the circle and make the reader understand today´s circumstances.

    The study reveals that in Australia we have a lot of potential for cultural, historical and nature-related tourism. Australian nature is extremely pure and genuine.

    Questions on Russia's Geographical and Socio-Cultural History

    Russia is a huge country with a lot of different resources, climates and natures. The climate differs a lot from north to south and from west to east. The coldest part is the north-east, the hottest – south-west. Russia has an exit to waters, but on the north it is mostly iced water, east waters are shared with China and Japan, and the most important connection to the sea is Black Sea in the south-west. Most of the population can be found in the north-west part where the biggest cities are – Moscow and St. Petersburg. Other parts of Russia are less developed with high unemployment rates and poverty. Because of its location Russian culture is influenced by Europe from one side and Asia from another and it creates a sort of misunderstanding between people who live in different regions. Russia is rich with natural resources especially gas and is able to play almost a monopolistic role exporting these resources. However whenever I travel around Russia I see that many things are not brought for tourists consumption and many areas require improvement. Let’s take Ural Mountains for example – a massive area with beautiful mountains that could be perfect for winter sports. But it is embarrassing to bring foreign tourists there because the quality of service leaves much to be desired. The main money capital is centered in Moscow and St. Petersburg so the other parts of Russia have to suffer.…
