Abstract: in the article the authorsexplore the features of Arctic tourism for the most unusual region on our planet, an incredibly beautiful and mysterious region that amazes with its originality. This region attracts not only scientists and researchers, but is also an object of frequent tourist visits, so the term has appeared, which in recent decades has become increasingly popular not only within our country, but also in the world community - "Arctic tourism". The relevance of these studies lies in the fact that the Arctic is one of the most significant, promising and controversial places on our planet, which is of interest to a large number of tourists. The goal is to explore the concept of "Arctic tourism". The objectives of the scientific article: to study the reasons for the popularity of tourists to the Arctic, to identify the features of Arctic tourism. The Arctic is one of the few corners of the Earth where the unique nature in its original form has been preserved, as well as the traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples. Therefore, the Arctic, in recent years, has attracted more and more tourists. The Arctic territory of Russia contains significant potential for the development of Arctic tourism. This article is devoted to studying the tourism potential of the Russian Arctic and identifying the opportunities and limitations of such development. Also presented is an analysis of the main competitors of Russia in the field of Arctic tourism (Norway, Finland and Sweden), as well as the formats of their international cooperation in its development, combined with the preservation of the fragile ecosystem of the Arctic and the sustainable development of the region. Studies show that the development of Arctic tourism in Russia is difficult due to the lack of infrastructure, underdeveloped logistics, as well as high cost. Simplification of the visa regime can significantly increase the flow of foreign tourists.
