  • Current Tourism Trends on the Black Sea Coast
    CURRENT TOURISM TRENDS ON THE BLACK SEA COAST Minenkova Vera, Kuban State University, Russia Tatiana Volkova, Kuban State University, Russia Anatoly Filobok, Kuban State University, Russia Anna Mamonova, Kuban State University, Russia Sharmatava Asida, Kuban State University, Russia [email protected] The article deals with current trends of development of tourism on the Black Sea coast, related to geographical, economic, geopolitical factors. Key words: Black Sea coast, tourism and recreation complex, tourism, current trends. I. INTRODUCTION Black Sea coast has a number of natural features that define the high tourism and recreation potential of the territory. The unique combination of different resources defines the high tourism and recreation potential of the territory and creates conditions for the development of various forms of tourist activity. In view of the existing tourism industry (accommodation facilities, entertainment companies, etc.) and infrastructure we can talk about conditions for the development of almost all types of tourism: − cultural, educational and historical − health and resort − children − ecological − business − ethnographic − religious − agritourism (rural) − gastronomic and wine − active forms of tourism (diving, kitesurfing, hang-gliding, biking, caving, jeeping, rafting, horse riding, skiing and snowboarding, mountain climbing). II. TOURISM DEVELOPMENT FACTORS In general, current trends in the development of tourism on the Black Sea coast are determined by several factors: 1. The presence of significant historical and cultural potential and the unique culture of the local communities. According to archaeological evidence, the Caucasus is really to be considered one of the main points related to the "Cradle places of human civilization" (a series of sites of ancient human settlements in the Caucasus extends back over 300-350 thousand years).

  • The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics: Who Stands to Gain?
    This content is drawn from Transparency International’s forthcoming Global Corruption Report: Sport. For more information on our Corruption in Sport Initiative, visit: www.transparency.org/sportintegrity 3.10 The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics: who stands to gain? Oleg Golubchikov1 Introduction The Sochi Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, which took place in February/March 2014, made the news worldwide as the most expensive events in history. While the initial bid’s cost estimate for the Games was in the range of US$11 billion, the final bill skyrocketed to US$50 billion. Much of this cost has been borne by the federal budget, state-owned corporations and state- underwritten loans.2 It is easy to assume, as many did,3 that the high cost was merely a testimony to mismanagement and corruption. This is to ignore the results of earnest probing into the causes and implications of expensive sporting mega-events, however, including how symptomatic they are of the wider tendencies of transnational sport to intersect with national economies and politics. Global sporting events, including the Olympic Games, are some of the most conspicuous mega-projects. What is the function of mega-projects, though? As Bent Flyvbjerg argues, mega-projects ‘are designed to ambitiously change the structure of society, as opposed to smaller and more conventional projects that…fit into pre-existing structures and do not attempt to modify these’.4 It can be further contended that, as nation states ‘hollow out’ (that is, experience a weakened capacity to project their economic powers over their own territories in the face of globalisation, welfare state retrenchment and the increasing self-reliance of subnational regions), mega-projects remain one of the few important means still available to national governments to pursue radical structural strategies with respect to national spatial development.

The purpose of this project was to evaluate tourism in the Tuapse region compared to nearby regions on the Black Sea coast. We collaborated with the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation to visit regions of interest to conduct surveys of tourists, interviews of business administrators, and to make observations about the places visited. From the results of this data, we organized our findings in a SWOT analysis to present ideas for increasing tourism in the Tuapse region.
