“…Content differentiation according to the interests and needs of various social groups, including young people and families with children, can also help to increase the attractiveness of tourism products. The most popular direction in the context of population aging is the formation of tours for older citizens (RYABOVA et al, 2018).…”

The article identifies the most significant problems of the development of domestic tourism, reveals the main directions of the development of the tourist attractiveness of Russian territories, and justifies the contradiction between the high tourism potential of municipalities, the importance of unique territorial resources, and the low level of their tourist attractiveness. The key problems in the field of tourism infrastructure development are transport inaccessibility of tourist attractions, a shortage of economy-class hotels, regional differentiation (which means that transport, leisure, and tourism infrastructure are concentrated mainly in big cities and are absent in small and medium-sized cities of the Russian Federation). During the population survey, the authors identified the problem of the insufficient relevance of the existing techniques of providing services in the field of cultural and educational tourism, as well as the problem of meeting the renewing needs of consumers by tourist attractions. The article has scientific significance and practical value for the local government leaders and can interest a wide range of readers.

“…Co-habitation with children is widespread, which is explained by the persistence of extremely close interfamily ties, but also a severe shortage of housing. However, co-habitation with grown-up children and grandchildren might constrain the lifestyles of older individuals, especially women, who are at risk of being treated as a nanny (Ryabova et al, 2018) Thus far, I have been comparing quantitative indicators of Russia and Finland that have been nonetheless interpreted from a cultural position. Next, I switch to qualitative factors.…”

This is a qualitative study of consumers aged 50+ and their daily practices connected to wearable devices (smartwatches and fitness trackers). Drawing on the practice theory, we seek to uncover how participation in such practices might enhance users’ well‐being as an integral part of social sustainability. We assume that both ageing and well‐being are not pre‐given but they rather co‐evolve when users of wearables engage in situated practices. Hence, wearables such as smartwatches and fitness trackers might positively reconfigure the existing practices of consumers over 50, or even recruit them into new ones, resulting in higher well‐being and social sustainability. The phenomenon is examined in Russia and Finland, as ageing has been high on the agenda in these countries due to controversial pension and social welfare reforms. Though these countries are different in terms of possibilities (access to medical help, employment, social participation and so forth) for their ageing populations, an active ageing framework with an emphasis on individual responsibility over one’s well‐being has been gaining popularity in both Russia and Finland. This framework is compatible with the use of wearable devices that measure physical activity and basic health characteristics. Based on data elicited through 17 semi‐structured interviews with Russians and Finns aged between 50 and 73 y.o., this study suggests that engagement in practices with wearables might have a positive effect on consumers’ well‐being. This is achieved, for instance, by helping manage one’s daily tasks, reducing stigma that is sometimes attached to ageing individuals and/or boosting feeling of togetherness in social interactions that might decrease with ageing. In addition, an important difference between the two countries lies in how ageing consumers see themselves in relation to other ageing people when using a wearable: in Russia, the use of a wearable can signal one’s social distance from an “average” ageing person, while Finnish consumers regard themselves as doing what everyone of the same age does.
