Development of glamping in Russia and abroad

This article discusses the innovative format of accommodation during traveling: glamping. Historical preconditions of this accommodation format in the world are considered, its popularization from the time of its origination to present times, as well as the main differences between glamping and camping are analyzed. At present, glamping is at the stage of active development and implementation into the technology of tourist accommodation all over the world. Unified classification of glamping as means of accommodation is also unavailable. This article presents information about glamping sites located abroad and in some regions of Russia. Information about services and cost policy of the most interesting glamping sites is summarized.  Analysis of various materials has made it possible to describe the state of glamping in Russia and to conclude that this accommodation format is very promising for Russia, since it promotes development of tourism in regions

Hospitality industry: foreign experience in applying innovative technologies in the field of sales and marketing.

<p>The current state of the tourism and hospitality sector has been seriously influenced by a number of external factors, including the pandemic and long-term restrictions caused by COVID-19 (in some cases, a ban on flights to other countries), as well as the unstable economic and political situation in the world. At the same time, most experts agree that only one positive feature can be identified from all this – the tourism and hospitality sector will now work in a new way. Despite various external restrictions and threats, tourism and hotel business continues to develop in almost all countries. New tourist areas have begun to appear, and travelers are becoming increasingly interested in trips to little-known tourist centers. The year 2023 marked a new stage in the development of the tourism and hospitality sector: the number of travelers has increased, their needs have changed, the boundary between business and tourist trips has practically disappeared, which has led to the emergence of new offers from all market participants. In accordance with dynamically changing market conditions, all participants in the tourism market are forced to adapt to new realities, becoming the initiators of intra-organizational innovation processes. The authors of the article determined the relevance of introducing marketing innovations in the hotel business, considered the importance of innovative marketing in the work of the hotel. The theoretical aspects of the topic of the article are supported by modern examples from practice.</p&gt

Socio-economic aspects of the development of the tourism and hospitality industry in the Russian Federation

This trend has affected both tourist countries and countries where tourism is not the primary economic sector. This paper examines the socio-economic aspects of the development of the Russian Federation's tourism industry in recent years. The objective of the study is to evaluate the development of the tourism industry in Russia. For this purpose, the issues of methodology for collecting official statistical information in tourism are considered, statistical data on tourism development are analyzed, and key indicators of the Tourism Development Strategy in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2035 are analyzed. The authors used general scientific research methods, namely, methods of reviewing the economic literature on the stated topic, analyzing statistical data characterizing the development of tourism in the Russian Federation in 2014–2018, and synthesizing the results obtained. The data source was indicators characterizing the development of the tourism and hospitality industries in Russia, the activities of collective accommodation facilities, and tourist companies. The study describes the social and economic aspects of the development of the tourism and hospitality industries in Russia for 2014–2018, identifies the necessary organizational and economic conditions to increase the volume of domestic tourism through administrative, fiscal, and social measures, proposes mechanisms to stimulate national tourism development to achieve the key indicators of tourism development until 2035

Hydrological, meteorological observations and isotopes sampling results during 2019-2020 at Djankuat Glacier Station in the North Caucasus, Russia

This is an update of a dataset on the long-term complex glaciological, hydrological, meteorological observations and isotopes sampling in an extremely underreported alpine zone of the North Caucasus. The Djankuat research basin is of 9.1 km2, situated on elevations between 2500 – 4000 m, by 30% covered with glaciers. The biggest in the basin Djankuat glacier was chosen as representative of the central North Caucasus during the International Hydrological Decade and is one of 30 'reference' glaciers in the world that have annual mass-balance series longer than 50 years (Zemp et al, 2009). The original dataset covers 2007-2017, this update - 2019-2020. In total, the dataset contains the result of yearly measurements of snow thickness and density; dynamics of snow and ice melting; measurements of water runoff, conductivity, turbidity, temperature, δ18O, δ2H on the main gauging station with a one-hour or several-hours step depending on the parameter; data on δ18O and δ2H sampling of liquid precipitation, snow, ice, firn, groundwater in different parts of the watershed regularly in time during the melting season; precipitation amount, air temperature, relative humidity, shortwave incoming and reflected radiation, longwave downward and upward radiation, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction – measured on several automatic weather stations within the basin with 15 min – one-hour step; gradient meteorological measurements to estimate turbulent fluxes of heat and moisture, measuring three components of wind speed at a frequency of 10 hertz to estimate the turbulent impulse heat fluxes over the glacier surface by the eddy covariance method. The observations were held during ablation period June-October and were interrupted in winter. The dataset will be further updated. The dataset can be useful for developing and verifying hydrological, glaciological and meteorological models for high elevation territories, to study impact of climate change on hydrology of mountain regions, using isotopic and hydrochemical approaches to study mountain territories
