The state, problems and prospects of tourism development in the Republic of Kalmykia

   The state of tourism in Russia is directly related to social, migration and ethnocultural factors both in the country and in its regions. In recent years, the tourism industry has changed especially in the context of the spread of coronavirus infection. Unfortunately, due to the increased epidemiological tension in the country and the world over the past two years, the tourism industry has suffered huge losses by changing the rules for the provision of tourist services. In his address, dated May 7, 2020, President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin supported the development of domestic tourism. According to him, with the help of all these directions it is possible to form attractive routes, open new directions in the country, where it will be convenient to get to and have an interesting time (Tass Press Center).One of the most attractive Russian regions for the development of domestic tourism is the Republic of Kalmykia, which is one of the ten most promising regions for tourism. It was noted that the pandemic caused serious damage to tourism both at the level of the country and the republic. The current state of tourism in the regional context is assessed, taking into account new restrictions and problems, and the main problems of the development of the tourism industry are identified. The authors reviewed the current federal and regional programs and projects aimed at the development of tourism. It is shown that despite the presence of serious infrastructural problems, there is a good prospect for the development of tourism in the Republic of Kalmykia, primarily through the inclusion of attractive tourist resources in the tourist turnover. The conclusion is made about the possibilities and prospects for the development of the tourism industry in the region.
