To determine the direction of efforts to develop internal
and inbound tourism in the Republic of Mari El, it is necessary to consider the recreational opportunities of the republic and the problems that hinder the development of tourism.
The Republic of Mari El is located in the European part of Russia, in the east of the East European Plain, in the middle part of the basin
R. Volga. This is one of the small Russian regions: the largest length of the territory from west to east is 287 km,
north to south - 150 km, the area of \u200b\u200bthe territory is 23,400 km 2. The population is about 700 thousand people.
From the north, northeast and east the republic borders
with the Kirov region, from the southeast and south - with the Republic of Tatarstan
And Chuvash Republic, in the west and north-west - with the Nizhny Novgorod region.
For 155 km, the longest and most abundant river in Europe, the Volga, flows through our republic. On its banks are located the Gornomariysky district with the center in the city of Kozmodemyansk, the Yurinsky district, part of the territories of the Volzhsky and Zvenigovsky districts. Second
the largest river in the Republic of Mari El - Vetluga. Both rivers are navigable.
The hydrographic network of the republic consists of 476 large
and small rivers (including the Volga and Vetluga rivers), about 700 lakes with a total area of 2,752 hectares, which are the pride of the region. In the valleys of the rivers Ilet
and Yushut, a large number of mineral springs are concentrated, used for medicinal purposes in sanatoriums, rest homes
and hospitals.
The lakes of the failed type are located mainly on the southern,
southwestern slopes of the Vyatka Uval. In the lower reaches of the river There are large lakes in Ilet: Yalchik, Glukhoe, Bottomless and Kichier.
On the edge of the northern ledge of the Sotnur Upland, there are 11 lakes in a chain, including Morskoy Eye (Volzhsky district),
at the foot of the Kerebelak Upland - 6 lakes.
The territory of the Republic of Mari El is densely covered with forests. The total area of forests in the republic is 1,415.5 thousand hectares. Part of the forest is located on the territory of the national park "Mariy Chodra" (36.9 thousand hectares) - a specially protected natural area of federal significance. According to the richness of the flora, the national park "Mariy Chodra" is the most peculiar corner of the republic. Representatives of the Siberian and European taiga and forest-steppe meet here. The second specially protected natural area of federal significance, located on the territory of the Republic of Mari El, is the Bolshaya Kokshaga reserve.
In addition to specially protected natural areas of federal significance, there are 9 reserves on the territory of the republic belonging to specially protected natural areas of republican significance, 47 natural monuments.
The Republic of Mari El, according to the Independent Environmental Rating Agency (NERA), ranks third in the ranking of Russian regions in terms of the preservation of natural ecosystems, behind the Kostroma and Kirov regions. At the same time, the Republic of Mari El in this rating is in first place in terms of changing the potential for ecosystem sustainability according to data for 2007-2008.
The main religions on the territory of the Republic of Mari El are Orthodoxy and Islam, as well as paganism. According to the results of a sociological survey conducted by the Department of Sociology of the MarNIYALI in 2004, 51.1 percent of respondents adhere to Orthodoxy, 15.4 percent to the Mari traditional religion, 6.5 percent to Islam, 0.5 percent to another religion, 5 percent believe in " their God”, 21.5 percent are unbelievers.
The Republic of Mari El is this moment the largest center for the spread of paganism in Europe and the only major center in terms of the number of believers. According to the traditions, pagan prayers are held in sacred groves, which symbolizes the harmony between man and natural forces. Sacred Mari groves, or “prayers”, are located in the most picturesque places, traditionally in birch and aspen forests, they are separate tracts and are concentrated mainly in the elevated part of the Vyatsky Uval. This is not only a place of religious rites, but the ethnographic, cultural and historical heritage of the Mari people.
Based on the available natural resources, as well as due to its geographical position and development, the Republic of Mari El is one of the ecologically favorable territories of the European part of Russia with well-preserved nature and traditional culture of the local population. Thanks to this, the republic has great prospects for the development of ethnographic, rural, ecological, health-improving and recreational tourism.
Cruise tourism along the river is also promising. Volga, business and sports tourism in Yoshkar-Ola, which is associated with the appearance in the city in last years modern high-class sports infrastructure.
The development of ethnographic tourism is possible in most of the territory of the republic. This is favored by the striped living of the Mari, Russians, Tatars and other peoples. Promising is the organization of tours that allow you to compare the life, culture, traditional architecture and customs of these peoples. By agreement
with local religious communities, it is possible to attend religious ceremonies of pagan Mari held in sacred groves in the north-east of the republic. Of interest are the preserved
in a number of places, the traditional occupations of the population are basket weaving, the production of bast and products from it, weaving, national embroidery, and others.
At present, the ethnography of the Mari people is represented by
mainly museums - SMC "National Museum of the Republic
Mari El them. T. Evseev "in Yoshkar-Ola, ethnographic museum
in the open air in Kozmodemyansk and others.
This Program provides for the implementation of a number of projects that provide an opportunity to get acquainted with the culture of the Mari people more fully through "immersion" in life and interactive programs.
Rural tourism in its modern sense is a complex product that includes various areas of tourism with accommodation along the routes in modern complexes and guest houses in rural areas. This type of tourism has great prospects for development in 2011 - 2016 in the Republic of Mari El, since at the initial stage it requires relatively small costs, has a shorter payback period compared to other types of tourism, while using the potential of the region and has a significant social significance. The development of rural tourism can partially solve the problem of employment in the countryside and stimulate the development of tourism-related industries, such as the production of souvenirs, picking berries and mushrooms for subsequent sale to tourists, and resolving the issue of marketing part of agricultural products. Rural tourism can be one of the domestic sources of investment for the development of agricultural production.
This Program sets the task of creating a rural tourism cluster that combines agro-, recreational, active, ethnographic tourism. All objects comply with the principles of multifunctionality and are oriented to year-round use.
Prerequisites for the development of rural tourism in the Republic
Mari El:
location in the center of Russia and transport accessibility - railway and air communication with Moscow, availability of fixed-route taxis, buses and electric trains Kazan - Yoshkar-Ola (average travel time - 2 hours), availability of fixed-route taxis, bus routes Cheboksary - Yoshkar-Ola, Nizhny Novgorod - Yoshkar-Ola, Kirov - Yoshkar-Ola;
the remoteness of some of the objects of interest for tourism from urban centers, which makes it difficult to visit them when living in the city and makes it more convenient and economical to stay in tourist complexes in rural areas located along tourist routes, compiled taking into account the sights of the region;
novelty of the proposal and the possibility of combination various kinds recreation.
The most promising areas for inclusion in the route network at the initial stage of rural tourism development are Kuzhenersky, Morkinsky, Paranginsky, Kilemarsky,
Mari-Tureksky, Gornomariysky, Novotoryalsky and Sernursky.
Ecological tourism is one of the promising types of tourism in the Republic of Mari El. The growing popularity of ecological tourism and the measures taken by the Government of the Russian Federation to stimulate the development of this type of tourism give hope for the use of the ecological potential of the republic to attract environmentally oriented tourists from Russian regions and foreign countries.
Attractive for the development of ecological tourism in the republic are the Vyatsky Uval hill in the territories of the Kuzhenersky, Morkinsky and Volzhsky districts with natural monuments located within it: "Mountain Zadelye" with preserved ancient mine workings, "Stone Mountain" with low-mountain landscapes, "Karman-Kuryk" and adjacent territories, the national park "Mariy Chodra", the reserve "Big Kokshaga". Of interest are the Shurginskaya and Chukshinskaya uplands
with picturesque surroundings, numerous groups of karst lakes, the Ilet and Irovka rivers. The right-bank part - the Gornomariysky district and the city of Kozmodemyansk - is rich in archaeological, historical and cultural monuments.
Health tourism is a socially significant and traditionally popular type of tourism for the Russian Federation. The Volga region is recognized as one of the promising regions for the development of this type of tourism.
The Republic of Mari El has a long tradition
spa treatment. For the construction of sanatoriums, the most scenic spots predominantly in close proximity to water bodies. The advantage is that many sanatoriums have natural mud, mineral waters. At present, the material base of the republic's sanatoriums is sufficiently worn out, and modern tourist requirements dictate the need to develop a range of additional entertainment, cultural and educational services in sanatorium-resort institutions. In this Program, as a priority measure for the development of health tourism, it is proposed to support the already existing sanatorium base of the republic and the development of existing
in the Republic of recreational zones. Promising areas are Volzhsky, Zvenigovsky, Medvedevsky and a number of other areas. The least costly and promising path at the initial
stage - creation of conditions for the development of related infrastructure in the locations of sanatorium and resort institutions
and other types of tourism: the opening of tour agencies, cafes
and restaurants, rental of sports equipment for outdoor activities, development of the route network and ecological trails. The participation of the state in updating the material base of the most popular and promising sanatorium-resort institutions of the republic is necessary.
Recreational (beach) tourism is a traditionally popular form of recreation in the summer. The most attractive territories for the development of this type of tourism - Zvenigovsky district
with a tourist and recreational area in the village. Kokshaisk, lakes of the Mari lowland - Shap, Tahir, Karas and others, part of the territory of the national park "Mari Chodra" with developed infrastructure,
in particular, the region of lakes Yalchik, Glukhoe, as well as Volzhsky, Yurinsky, Gornomariysky, Kilemarsky and a number of other regions. The limiting factor in the development of this type of tourism is the short beach season and the resulting uneven loading of accommodation facilities specializing in recreational tourism. Partially, this problem can be solved by expanding the range of services and using accommodation facilities in the autumn-winter period for an active, business
and other types of tourism.
Cruise tourism is promising in the Republic of Mari El. The river flows through the territory of 4 regions of the republic. Volga, however, only the city of Kozmodemyansk is currently involved in cruise programs, the flow of tourists to which has decreased in recent years due to numerous fires and the loss of historical monuments in the historical part of the city. Not covered by cruise tourism are promising areas of the village. Yurino
with the unique Sheremetev Castle, Zvenigovo with the Museum of the History of the Shipping Company, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2011, Volzhsk, pos. Kokshaisk, Zvenigovsky district, which is the nearest locality on the river Volga to the capital of the Republic of Mari El - Yoshkar-Ola and the developed recreational zone of the republic. The development of cruise tourism and the involvement of new territories in cruise programs require large financial investments for dredging, installation of landing stages and marinas, as well as the participation of municipal administrations and entrepreneurs in creating tourism infrastructure and preparing excursion programs in promising areas. In the case of solving these problems, cruise tourism is the most promising option for including the republic's tourism resources in interregional programs within the framework of the signed Agreement on the Great Volga project.
Sports tourism is one of the new for the republic promising directions tourism development. In 2004 - 2010
in Yoshkar-Ola, modern sports facilities were put into operation, allowing to hold championships and championships of the All-Russian and international level:
sports and recreation complex "Spartak", the Ice Palace "Mari El" and the Ice Palace of the stadium "Druzhba", the Palace of Water Sports, the Water Palace "Yoshkar-Ola", the central stadium "Druzhba" was reconstructed. It is planned to build new sports facilities of international level.
Development of cultural and educational tourism in the Republic
Mari El does not have great prospects as a separate type of tourism. This is connected with the history of the region and with deep geographic location republics away from the main lines economic life in the past, correspondingly with the absence on the territory
in in large numbers significant monuments of history, culture
and architecture of federal significance. Development of this type of tourism
in the republic should be considered as an integral part of other types of tourism or as an integral part of unifying interregional tourism products involving a short stay in the territory of the republic
for cultural and educational purposes.
Thus, on the territory of the Republic of Mari El there are prerequisites for the successful development of several types of tourism.
According to the estimates of specialists of the Department of Investments and Prospective Development of the Vladinvesttour group of companies, given in 2007, the profitable geographical location The Republic of Mari El, historical, architectural and ethnographic heritage, the wealth of environmental resources, the availability of labor resources, subject to the implementation of the administrative resource, will allow in the next 5 years to position the republican tourism product among the top ten regional leaders of the national tourism product of Russia.
In accordance with the social reforms currently being carried out in the Russian Federation, there is a monetization of social benefits for the population, based on the introduction of the concept of a single social package. Along with preferential medical, transport and other services, in a single social package as a measure social support established by federal law since January 1, 2005. spa services included. About 32 million Russian citizens may become users of the unified social package, incl. disabled people and participants in the Great Patriotic War, former underage prisoners of fascism, veterans of military operations, a number of categories of military personnel who underwent military service in the period from June 22, 1941 to September 3, 1945 for at least six months, disabled people of the 1st group, disabled children, etc., which will be an integral part of their material life support. Information on the amounts of monthly cash payments stipulated by federal legislation from January 1, 2005. //Southeast courier. - 2005. - No. 3. - S.1-3
According to some estimates, 60% of the adult population and 40% of children are in need of spa treatment. It is especially important for patients who need a rehabilitation and recovery period.
State financing of the sanatorium and resort complex is carried out through the federal budget and the social insurance fund (FSS). However, in absolute terms, the growth of budget allocations in the period 2008-2010 is obvious. Almost all federal authorities that have boarding houses and holiday homes on their balance sheet will be financed with an annual growth of 7-12%.
Many ministries and departments pay great attention to the problem of improving the health of their employees and their families. Thus, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has developed a departmental program for the construction and modernization of sanatorium-and-spa institutions for 2006-2008. As part of the social policy, preferential vouchers are provided: employees pay 25% of the cost, their family members - 50%. As a result, year-round occupancy of sanatoriums and rest houses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is 95%.
Through the FSS (Social Insurance Fund), the financing of the sanatorium and resort sector is carried out in three areas: the improvement of children, payment for vouchers for sanatorium treatment of workers and the provision of state social assistance certain categories citizens for sanatorium treatment, including travel to and from the place of treatment.
It is quite obvious that it is impossible to solve all socio-demographic problems only with the help of the sanatorium-resort and tourism sphere. However, a well-considered state policy of financing this area is one of the elements of the implementation of the priority national project "Health". Edronova V.N. State financial support for tourism / V.N. Edronova, A.O. Ovcharov // Finance and credit. - 2008. - No. 41. - pp. 37-38
In the era of globalization, the improvement of the nation is one of the important tasks modern society. One of the promising areas of the tourism industry is health-improving, a feature of which is an integrated approach to a person, providing for the possibility of treating various types of diseases, including in a sanatorium.
From the point of view of sanatorium and resort activities, the RME has a huge potential. It is endowed with the necessary natural resources, on the basis of which sanatorium-resort zones with necessary conditions treatment and recreation in sanatoriums, children's health camps and other medical institutions (rest homes, camp sites). The most popular are such sanatoriums as Sosnovy Bor and Lesnaya Skazka. Sanatorium "Klenovaya Gora" is located on the territory of the state national park "Mariy Chodra". The general complex of sanatorium-and-spa treatment of this health resort includes not only traditional methods of treatment, such as physiotherapy, inhalation, "sea" baths and others, but also non-traditional ones - manual therapy, koumiss therapy, phytotherapy.
In a post-industrial society, the quality of life of the population of Russia, one of the components of which is health, is low. An example of this is the increase in the number of people who go to medical institutions for diseases of the circulatory system, there are also many pregnant women who are at risk, and for Lately about 550 expectant mothers have passed free course rehabilitation in local health resorts.
Thus, the potential of the Republic of Mari El for the development of sanatorium and resort activities is quite large. The republic has all the necessary natural conditions - rich in environmentally friendly water resources, vast areas of forest land. Aleksandrova V.V.

The Republic of Mari El has a huge potential for the development of the health resort sector due to its nature and climatic conditions. The most popular sanatoriums are Sosnovy Bor, Lesnaya Skazka, Klenovaya Gora. It is in these sanatoriums that all categories of citizens who need it for medical reasons undergo treatment and rehabilitation.
