- Abstract:
- The development of domestic tourism increases interest in small, peripheral cities, which are becoming increasingly popular among tourists. Small cities play a crucial role in the economy of regions, supporting and developing tourism, agriculture, and industry, and providing employment opportunities. Their development contributes to creating a comfortable living environment, attracting tourists, and preserving cultural heritage. However, small cities face a number of challenges, including a lack of tourism infrastructure, a shortage of personnel interested in preserving and promoting their unique culture, and a lack of awareness among potential tourists. Solving the problems typical of tourism development in small cities will not only contribute to the influx of tourists to the destination, but also to the formation of a city brand that is known beyond its borders. Supporting cultural initiatives at the state level allows for the most effective interaction with city administrations and their involvement in the tourism sector. A comprehensive approach to urban development aims to create new strategies for cultural, tourism, and historical heritage preservation, as well as for creating a comfortable urban environment. The cultural code and cultural identity of cities serve as the foundation for the spatial development strategy of the Russian Federation.
