Development of cartographic support for tourism in the Volgograd region

The development of the tourism and recreational sphere of any region requires a high-quality information space. It forms an attractive tourist image, providing residents and guests of the region with data on the range of provided tourism products and services, as well as tourism infrastructure in an on-line format.

Currently, many regions of Russia have tourist portals and interactive tourist maps. The Volgograd region is no exception. However, electronic tourism resources of the region are in the process of formation and registration. The author took part in one of the projects for compiling an electronic tourist map of the Volgograd region. In this connection, the article presents the stages of work on the map project: from the preparatory stage, which includes an analysis of consumer searches for tourism on the Internet; a review of the content and design of similar maps; to the preparation of a map software and its online implementation.

Based on the results of the study, eight main sections were identifi ed in the structure of the electronic tourist map: attractions, places of mass recreation, sale of handicrafts of the Volgograd region (souvenirs), entertainment, outdoor activities, accommodation facilities, food facilities, tourist routes and excursions.

Conclusions about the state of electronic tourist mapping in the Volgograd region are formulated. It is noted that it is in the development stage, since a comprehensive cartographic solution with the open access on the Internet has not been presented yet.

 The results of the study presented in the article are of value as a methodological and practical basis for developing electronic mapping of tourism and tourism activities, as well as applied research in the fi eld of regional tourism development.
