Abstract

Tourism as a means of diversifying economic development can only be considered in those regions that have enough tourism potential. The application of tourism management methods in the region requires factoring in the specifics of the region itself and the possibility of increasing the number of inbound tourists. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the number of regions that can offer a competitive product is quite small and tourism is often their main income category. The novelty of the study is that the Arctic region is subsidized and often the region’s economy is focused only on the extraction and processing of minerals. Attraction of tourists is limited due to climatic and infrastructural conditions. As a novelty of the study, the question of how to build infrastructure and provide a management model in the Arctic region is considered, provided that the model meets the standards of public administration. The practical application of the research results can be achieved on the condition that each of the participants in the public administration process can implement a regional development program at the level of the Arctic regions. The main task will be considered the process of formation of a competitive environmental and managerial environment upon financing with self-supporting forms.

Keywords: conditions for the development of tourism, the construction of tourist facilities, entrepreneurial activity in tourism activity, tourist demand, study programs at universities.
