“…By the latter, we mean a complex establishment that includes healthcare and recreational institutions, servicing institutions and related industries (retail enterprises and catering facilities, social, cultural and sports institutions, sightseeing objects, traffic network, souvenir production, etc.). Thus, Aleksandrova (2003) argues that the most typical features of tourism are a vastness of interconnected ties, fragmented structure, dominance of small and middle-sized businesses, and a non-material character of tourist products. These aspects, as well as some other factors, make the application of a cluster approach desirable for tourism development.…”

This paper aims to shed light on the prospects of ethno-tourism cluster development in Russian regions. The methodology provided in the paper is applicable for the study of cluster approaches in tourism. The focus here is on good practices of ethno-clusters in tourism in Russian regions. In order to achieve this analysis, specific methods are used, including: system and comparative analysis, assessment of the resources and capacities of regions, administrative diagnostics, expert estimates, in-depth interviews, and social and psychological researches. The main results of this study show that the challenges and prospects for ethno-tourism development are defined and supported by the Mari El case study. The factors influencing ethno-tourism development are the tourism potential of the region, the attitude of local authorities towards tourism, the availability of necessary infrastructure and qualified personnel. The conditions facilitating the success of tourism cluster development are also analyzed. Firstly, this requires development of the target program for tourism with an emphasis on ethno-tourism at the level of local authorities; secondly, investment in tourism infrastructure development is necessary. This research is of practical importance for the modernization of domestic tourism programs in order to boost the regional economy.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the prospects for cluster modeling of ethno-tourism development in Russian regions. Design/methodology/approach This study uses the methods of system and comparative analysis, mathematical statistics, managerial diagnostics, expert estimates, in-depth interview, cluster method and social and psychological testing. Findings A significant number of Russian and international researchers study the problem of cluster and network interaction in economics using different perspectives. Special attention should be paid to the theory of cluster and network interaction in the field of tourism. This theory establishes the framework for the formulation of the concept of regional tourism development. The author believes that the concept should be developed using network forms of interaction in the field. Practical implications The government should support cluster initiatives to improve the competitiveness of the country in the field of tourism. Further, this cluster policy should include tourist centers with the best prospects, as they are capable of stimulating the country’s economy, and develop a legal framework to provide cluster initiatives support. Otherwise, cluster and network modeling is likely to fail. Another limitation is the negative attitude of local and conventional religious communities toward the ideas of ethno-tourism issues; the best example is the included case study from Mari El Republic, Russia. Originality/value Given the wide ethic, cultural and geographical differences within the Russian Federation, it is helpful to develop a spatial model of cluster and network organization for tourism based on selection of the areas that feature unique natural and recreational potential in addition to historical and cultural attractiveness. These areas can be viewed as places where various cluster tourist initiatives and local tourist clusters can be implemented. The use of ethno-tourism as a base concept for local tourism development in the region is bound to make the region more attractive for investors and, thus, support and promote interest in the unique culture of the indigenous peoples.
