| Title of the article | Historical basis for the formation of new cultural tourist routes in Zelenodolsk region of Tatarstan |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. There is a world practice in the field of tourism, when the centers to visit are preserved by religious or architectural-historical sites, united by unique natural landscapes, founded by pilgrims over the centuries. Modern pilgrims travel along historical routes that popularize the history and culture of the country. There are also similar historical routes in Russia which are associated with religious processions, but many of them are used episodically, at best once a year on the day of honoring a saint or a miraculous icon, and most are simply forgotten. The purpose of the study is to form new cultural tourist routes along historical roads in Zelenodolsk region of Tatarstan. The objectives of the study are to search for and analyze materials related to the description of religious processions in the territory of the former Kazan Province, now Tatarstan; Identification of the roads and paths along which pilgrims walked with a visit to historical settlements; suggestion of new routes. Results. The article reviews modern foreign experience of organizing tourist routes to historical and cultural places, the purpose of which is to popularize historical places in their natural landscape. The existing regulatory and legal documents and materials related to the organization of tourist routes in Russia are studied. In the archives of the Volga-Kama Reserve cartographic materials were found, which contain valuable data on the location of rural settlements along old roads and tracts; a new cultural and tourist route has been proposed on the territory of the Volga-Kama Nature Reserve. Conclusions. The study of the historical experience of road links and the location of rural settlements in Zelenodolsk region of the Republic of Tatarstan on the basis of old cartographic materials made it possible to identify the main elements of the conceptual landscape space, which can become the basis for the creation of tourist routes. |
