THE CURRENT STATE OF ECOTOURISM IN THE WORLD AND

IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Ecotourism is one of the sought after kind of rest. Along with visiting large cities and resort areas, vacationers are increasingly interested in visiting the territory of various natural sites. Ecotourism is attractive because it completely changes the daily routine of a person and nature itself always tones and improves the general condition.

The origin of ecotourism dated relatively recently, this is associated with a deterioration of ecology and the abundance of cars, factories and other. People want to escape from the bustle of being closer to nature where you can admire beautiful landscapes and breathe fresh air.

What is the difference between ecological tourism and usual? Perhaps a special attitude to the world, untouched nature and its gifts. Therefore, the difference between ecotourism and ordinary tourism is that it is aimed at nature lovers who want to relax calmly and assuredly.

The current state of ecotourism is such that it is gaining momentum and enjoys universal love. Many residents of the city move to the village to raise children, spend a happy old age, not to undermine their health in their youth. And those who cannot afford such luxury go on vacation outdoors. Ecotourism is evidence of its popularity. The forms of ecotourism are numerous. Therefore, everyone will find something to their liking. Feeding a squirrel, enjoying the sunset or picking wildflowers is not an exhaustive list of possible ecotourism lessons.

Types of ecotourism:

1. Children's ecotourism − designed for adolescents who are interested in getting to know the wildlife, the world around it and its features.

2. Ecotourism in the village − farming, fresh fruits and vegetables are grown, pet care.

3. Ecotourism in national parks − involves short visits to the object with the aim of walking along it. Of interest are man-made objects. In some countries, protected areas are popular.

What are the goals and objectives of ecotourism? Travelers choose such a vacation in order to forget about the existing problems, abandon the usual rhythm of life, just relax in the fresh air. Ecotourism is, first of all, unity with nature. Visiting specially protected natural areas. this includes nature reserves and national parks. Most reserves have their own museums with interactive exhibits that colorfully describe the animal and plant diversity of a particular region.

Ecotourism in Europe and the world is developing at an active pace. Today it includes an extensive range of activities. These include hiking, animal watching, mushroom picking, berries and medicinal plants, river rafting, fishing excursions, and much more.

Ecotourism as a business idea is an excellent solution, because, according to statisticians, it accounts for more than  20%  of the profit of the entire tourism market.

World centers of ecological tourism are: Australia, South Africa, Asia, Finland, Ireland, Germany, Great Britain, Russia.

The development of ecotourism in Russia is proceeding rapidly, including for foreigners and general characteristics.

 General characteristics of ecological tourism in Russia:

- we have 103 reserves, 41 national parks, 69 reserves;

- ecotourism centers in Russia are developing only within the framework of the regions, that is, there is no federal development system;

- need develop additional recreation areas and a wide range of goods for this area, since now the types of ecotourism in Russia are limited.

These and other problems of the development of ecotourism in Russia impede the progress of the industry. However, given the abundance of parks and simply beautiful places, the current state of this holiday destination turns out to be very prosperous.

Several protected places of Russia stand out as the basis for the development of ecotourism:

1. Baikal Reserve − which, according to eyewitnesses, has a positive effect on the mental state of tourists;

2. Barguzinsky Reserve − the country's oldest reserve is included in the UNESCO list.

3. Kuznetsk Alatau − a golden valley, not yet exhausted, so you can see absolutely wild places and the beautiful Lake Kharatas;

4.  Altai Nature Reserve − here you can see picturesque mountains, lakes, wild forests 1190 lakes in the park.

The attractiveness of ecotourism is complemented by the fact that many of the sites visited have health centers in their structure. A tourist can not only enjoy nature, but also restore health. Nevertheless, the vacationer should remember that ecotourism is to some extent a risky hobby, so it is better to protect yourself from possible infections by taking vaccines.

On the way to the development of ecotourism, we still have a lot of work, and most importantly. It is difficult to call any tour ecological if transfers according to the scheme of this tour are carried out by car. We must strive for the ideal. In the near future, cars with hybrid engines or electric cars will appear, gliders, paragliders and balloons will fly through the air.
