Abstract
The article analyzes processes influencing current trends of tourism development. The author focuses on principle importance of in-country tourism, its adjustment to present day conditions and thinks that it is necessary to find new vectors and lines of its development. He proposes to pay special attention to the development of rite tourism as a possible solution to current problems. This notion has not been highlighted in academic literature yet. The author analyzes this type of tourism and puts forward his own interpretation and classification of its key lines as well as classification of rite tours in time, length and geography. He underlines the difference between rite tourism and ritual one. The analysis of the most popular routes showed that our country possesses necessary resources for the development of rite tourism. The author studied the potential, for example of the Arkhangelsk region and proposes to use certain folk fests of coast-dwellers to develop new tourist programs within the frames of rite tours. The fullscale use of the rite tourism potential as an integral part of tourist industry can have serious impact on social and economic progress in the region, on preservation of cultural traditions and our history.
