Abstract: in the article, the authors analyzed the Federal Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zone of Russia until 2035 with the development of regional target programs for innovative economic development, including its diversification, which contribute to the intensification of tourism activities in the region. It is becoming one of the drivers in the development of the economy in the Arctic. Its modern structure constantly increases the variety, which meets consumer demand. An important factor is the export role of tourism products. In the next 15 years, it is planned to increase the annual number of tourists in the Arctic zone to three million people, which, however, is significantly lower than in the foreign Arctic. In this regard, the development of polar Arctic tourism is possible so far only in Russia, as well as the organization of astroparks, the number of which is very limited in the world, are promising areas of tourism. Based on the analysis and generalization of thematic publications, the features of the development of pole tourism and the prospects for organizing an astropark in Teriberka, Murmansk region are considered. A number of measures have been proposed to promote them in the tourism market: expansion of the tourism product based on further scientific research; increasing the export value of new tourism products through active introduction to the international market; development of mechanisms to stimulate domestic demand through a flexible tax policy, infrastructure development, and broad information support. The development of tourism contributes to the improvement of the socio-economic situation in the region: it creates new jobs that are attractive to young people, the female population, creates opportunities for the preservation of traditional forms of management of indigenous ethnic groups, strengthens the geopolitical position of Russia in the Arctic, the article analyzes the problems and prospects for the socio-economic development of small towns and regional centers in the Russian Federation. Key approaches to determining the socio-economic potential of the region (including medium and small towns) are given. The types and elements of socio-economic potential, extensive and intensive factors of development are considered. A scheme of the socio-economic potential of small and medium-sized cities is proposed, the problems and advantages of the studied territories in comparison with large agglomerations are identified.
Key words: Arctic, polar tourism, astroparks, development, socio-economic potential, territory development, small town, medium town, resources, state and municipal management.
