“…Such strategies relate to how they use the local tourist space shaped by their personal interest, previous leisure pattern, and their leisurely exploration of the destination [15]. But if tourists do not want to live in a house with the hosts, they can stay in tourist hubs, which are specially designed for this [16].…”

Modern tourist trends are directed towards the undeveloped lands of the suburbs and rural areas, where, along with the agricultural and industrial orientation, the historical, architectural and natural landscape potential is preserved. To attract the tourist flow to the territory, routes are formed that allow identifying the historical significance and presenting this place taking into account ethnic, architectural, artistic and landscape features. Novosheshminsky region of the Republic of Tatarstan has a significant historical and cultural potential, is rich in natural resources, and flourishes in agriculture and horse breeding. For the sustainable development of the territory, it is proposed to form a tourist route that combines the key points of attracting tourists using the features of the tourist infrastructure. General logical methods-the analogy of domestic and foreign experience in organizing routes in rural areas, induction and observation, the theoretical method-historical and socio-cultural analysis of the Novosheshma region-revealed significant aspects in the organization of tourist infrastructure and methods of their correct use in these conditions. The result of the study was the creation of a tourist route on the territory of the Novosheshminsky region, followed by a proposal for the classification of tourist infrastructure objects necessary for its full functioning.

“…From a demand perspective, tourists do not restrict their visits based on administrative boundaries unless there is a physical impediment [3,5,6,14]. Nowadays, new communication technologies offer tourists a wide range of available information sources in addition to the traditional channels [25,26].…”

“…Input from several channels contributes to creating a tourist's own image of a destination and initiates the decision-making process, which makes them feel more empowered to organize their own trip rather than use traditional promotional channels [10]. Thus, the marketed area may not coincide with the space represented or spatial flows of what tourists do at the destination [6,27]. This underlies the idea that tourism destinations should move towards a more dynamic model based on how tourists actually consume a space [3][4][5][6]14].…”

Tourism destinations are generally delimited and branded based on administrative boundaries, which act as artificial barriers that may reduce the competitiveness of the tourism sector. Increasingly, literature is taking a demand perspective (i.e., tourist spatial behaviour) when identifying and promoting destinations. This perspective can help to promote destinations more efficiently, particularly in rural areas, where most tourism flows depend on private vehicle and which do not take into account administrative boundaries. These flows are therefore highly conditioned by the geography of the area, hosting capacity and the cumulative effect of attractions. This research centres on brand creation from a tourist perspective, particularly how tourists consume a destination. Els Ports (Spain), a rural mountain area divided into multiple administrative divisions, each marketing its own brand, is taken as a case study. Recently, destination managers have seen the opportunity for regional cooperation and taken steps to cross traditional boundaries to market the area better. This study uses GIS techniques to compare tourist travel patterns with brand boundaries and new cooperative initiatives. The findings provide material for discussion on the branding strategy of Els Ports and the need to rebrand rural tourism destinations into functional tourism areas.
