Abstract

This article presents findings regarding the organization of tourism in the Arctic region, using the village of Khatanga (Krasnoyarsk Krai) as a case study. Khatanga serves as a key hub for Arctic exploration and development. The village is the starting point for the shortest route to the North Pole, creating favorable conditions for tourism growth. The study aimed to assess the tourism and recreational potential of Khatanga as a center for Arctic tourism development. Interviews with tour operators and officials from the Khatanga rural settlement administration revealed specific regional characteristics of tourism organization, notably seasonal limitations and a shortage of industry personnel. Currently, hunting and fishing tourism are the most popular activities in the settlement. Twelve historical and cultural sites were evaluated as part of the study. An assessment of cultural, historical, and recreational resources indicated a potential level that is average, bordering on low. Evaluations of accommodation and dining facilities highlighted a need for improved tourism infrastructure. These findings suggest that Khatanga holds promise as a tourism hub, with the potential to introduce visitors to the culture of indigenous minority peoples and the history of Arctic exploration. At present, however, the existing tourism infrastructure is insufficient to meet current visitor demand, necessitating a shift in approaches to tourism organization.
